3. PSYCHOSEXUAL LENS
SIGMUND FREUD
 Pyschoanalytic Theory
 Structure of Human Mind: Id, Ego,
Superego
 Psychosexual Stages of Development: Oral
Stage, Anal Stage, Phallic Stage, Latent
Stage, Genital Stage

4. SIGMUND FREUD
• Childhood experiences shaped our personalities and
behavior as adults.
• He believed that each of us must pass through a series of
stages during childhood, and that if we lack proper
nurturance and parenting during a stage, we may
become stuck, or fixated in that stage.

5. 5 MODERN PARENTING
TIPS FROM FREUD
Cristen Conger
(from Dr. Benjamin Spock’s Baby and Child Care, 1946)
as a way to translate Freudian theories about psychosexual development into casual
language that any parent could understand

6. #5BREASTMILK IS BEST… BUT NOT TOO MUCH!
• Freudian psychology maintains that breastfeeding is one of the pivotal
occupations of an infant in the oral stage, which lasts approximately from birth to
18 months [source: Burton].
• Weaning a baby too quickly from the breast would cultivate oral fixations and
pessimistic personality traits, but letting an infant latch on for too long could also
have the undesirable effects of honing helplessness and overindulgence [source:
Firestone].
• By that logic, Freud would probably tisk at attachment parenting models that
encourage mothers to breastfeed as long as children wish, even into their third
and fourth years.

7. #4 POO-POO TO FORCED POTTY TRAINING
• Toilet training is the attendant milestone of a child's anal phase, which lasts from
18 months to 3 or 4 years old.
• Freud suggested that forcing a child to abandon diapers before entering the
anal phase could be detrimental to his or her development, sowing
psychological seeds of hostility, not to mention bed-wetting [source: Dewar].
• If parents over-emphasized toilet training, it might lead to the development of a
compulsive personality – a person too concerned with neatness and order.
• If the child obeys the id, and the parents yield, they might develop a self-
indulgent personality characterized by personal slovenliness and environmental
disorder

8. #4 POO-POO TO FORCED POTTY TRAINING
• Contemporary research on potty training has debunked Freud's
bathroom concerns, but his warnings make sense, considering
what parenting experts in the early 20th century advocated.
• Guidelines at the time outlined strict potty training regimens,
complete with verbal and physical punishments if little ones
refused to go, which most certainly would've resulted in a torrent
of psychological repression and hang-ups [source: Dewar].

9. #3 DON’T BRING BABIES NEAR THE BED
• Co-sleeping, or allowing babies to sleep in the bed near their parents,
is generally would impact the most between ages 3 and 6 years old.
• It's in that latter, so-called phallic phase that boys and girls supposedly
develop subconscious sexual attractions to opposite-sex parents,
along with concurrent rivalries with same-sex parents.
• Boys, therefore, encounter the Oedipus complex, in which their
mothers become the apples of their young eyes, and girls battle the
Electra complex of paternal adulation.

10. #2 EASE UP, HELICOPTER PARENTS!
• The early 2000s witnessed the launch of the helicopter parent, these
overeager moms and dads are easily identified by their constant hovering
over kids' activities and interventions at any given moment to dispute
unsatisfactory academic grades and generally over-schedule children's lives
for success -- hopefully.
• In "Baby and Child Care," Spock encourages parents to allow children
ample time and space to play, explore and even break rules on their own,
thereby liberating them to freely transition through their Freudian
developmental phases [source: Sullivan].
• Proper childcare management is construed as a balancing act between too
little and too much.

11. #1 DADS DON’T MATTER MUCH
• Freud's interpretation of parent-child relationships was firmly entrenched in the
traditional gender roles of his time.
• Fathers were considered the authoritarian heads of household, and infant care
giving existed entirely in the maternal domain. Consequently, dads don't play
much of a role in child development, so said Freud, until the phallic phase from
ages 3 to 6.
• During that window, boys especially begin to take note of their fathers,
subconsciously detesting their sexual access to mothers. And with that internal
conflict and the potential of a father-son Oedipal showdown, castration anxiety
supposedly arises. But until then, it's mothers that make or break psychosexual
development.

12. Psychologists today dispute Freud’s psychosexual
stages as a legitimate explanation for how one’s
personality develops, but what we can’t take away
from Freud’s theory is that personality is shaped,
some part, by experiences we have in childhood.
