2. SIGMUND FREUD
Was a Viennese doctor who came to
believe that the way parent’s dealt with
children’s basic sexual and aggressive
desires would determine how their
personalities developed and whether
or not they would end up well
adjusted as adults.

5. THE ROLE OF
CONFLICT
Each of the psychosexual stages is
associated with a particular conflict
that must be resolved before the
individual can successfully advance
to the next stage.
The resolution of each of these
conflicts requires the expenditure of
sexual energy and the more energy
that is expended at a particular
stage, the more the important
characteristics of that stage remain
with the individual as he/she
matures psychologically.

6. FRUSTRATION,
OVERINDULGENCE, AND
FIXATION
7/1/2022 6
Some people do not seem to be able to leave one
stage and proceed on to the next. One reason for this
may be that the needs of the developing individual at
any particular stage may not have been adequately
met in which case there Is frustration. Or possibly the
person’s needs may have been so well satisfied that
he/she us reluctant to leave the psychological benefits
of a particular stage in which there is overindulgence
Both frustration and overindulgence (or any
combination of the two) may lead to what
psychoanalysis call fixation. At a particular
psychosexual stage/
Fixation refers to the theoretical notion that a portion f
the individual’s libido has been permanently “invested
in a particular stage of his development.
8. 1. ORAL STAGE
(Birth to 1 year)
Erogenous Zone : Mouth
During the oral stages, the baby gets much
satisfaction from putting all sorts of things in its
mouth to satisfy the libido, and thus it is
demands.
Which at this stage in life are:
• Sucking
• Biting
• Breastfeeding
9. 7/1/20XX Pitch deck title 9
Freud said oral stimulation could
lead to an oral fixation in later life.
Oral personalities engage in such
oral behaviors, particularly when
under stress.
10. 2. ANAL STAGE
(1 to 3 years)
Erogenous Zone: Anus
During the anal stage the libido
becomes focused on the anus, and
the child derives great pleasure from
defecating. The child is now fully
aware that they are a person in their
own right and that their wishes can
bring them into conflict with the
demands of the outside world.

11. 3. PHALLIC STAGE
(3 to 6 years old)
EROGENOUS ZONE: PENIS OR CLITORIS
The child becomes aware of anatomical sex
differences, which sets in motion the conflict between
erotic attraction, resentment, rivalry, jealousy and fear
which Freud called the Oedipus complex (in boys) and
the Electra complex (in girls).
12. Electra Complex
• For girls, the Oedipus or Electra
complex is less than
satisfactory. Briefly, the girl desires
the father, but realizes that she
does not have a penis. This leads
to the development of penis
envy and the wish to be a boy.
Oedipus Complex
• In the young boy, the Oedipus complex or
more correctly, conflict, arises because the
boy develops sexual (pleasurable) desires for
his mother. He wants to possess his mother
exclusively and get rid of his father to enable
him to do so.
• Irrationally, the boy thinks that if his father
were to find out about all this, his father would
take away what he loves the most. During the
phallic stage what the boy loves most is his
penis. Hence the boy develops castration
anxiety.

13. 4. LATENCY STAGE
(6 years to puberty)
(little or no sexual motivation present)
During this stage the libido is dormant
and no further psychosexual
development takes place (latent means
hidden).
14. 5. GENITAL STAGE
(Puberty to Adult)
EROGENOUS ZONE: PENIS AND VAGINA
It is a time of adolescent sexual
experimentation, the successful resolution of
which is settling down in a loving one-to-one
relationship with another person in our 20's.
Sexual instinct is directed to heterosexual
pleasure, rather than self-pleasure like during
the phallic stage.
18. 1.ID
Is the primitive and
instinctive component of
personality, including the
sex (life) instinct.

19. 2.EGO
The ego develops in
order to mediate between
the unrealistic id and the
external real world. It is
the decision-making
component of personality
10-03-22 19
20. 3. SUPER EGO
It incorporates the values and morals of
society which are learned from one’s
parent and others. It is similar to a
conscience, which can punish the ego
through causing feelings of guilt.
