Freud proposed that personality develops through five psychosexual stages - oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. During each stage, libido or sexual energy focuses on different parts of the body. Fixation or conflicts at a stage can influence adult personality. Key stages include the Oedipus complex in the phallic stage, where boys' desire for their mother creates anxiety, and the Electra complex for girls. Successful resolution leads to identification with the same-sex parent and progression to later stages like adolescence. Frustration or overindulgence at a stage can result in fixation influencing behavior.
This videos describes the key points of psychosexual theory. According to him, personality is mostly established by the age of five. Early experiences play a large role in personality development and continue to influence behavior later in life. The points mentioned in slides are core points.

INTRODUCTION
This week’s focus will be on some of the pioneers in what would eventually become the subspecialty of personality within the field of psychology. Both Freud and Erikson are known as stage theorists in that they viewed the development of one's personality to occur as an individual sequentially progressed through several distinct stages, characterized by a particular challenge that needed to be overcome. Healthy personality development is associated with the successful navigation through these challenges, while personality problems or limitations are related to an individual's inability to adequately negotiate the challenge(s).
Early Pioneer: Sigmund Freud
When we mention the name Sigmund Freud many people think about sex drives and his concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego to explain structures of the mind. He is sometimes referred to in the behavioral sciences as the father of psychology because he tried to chart the mind. He believed that it was the multidimensional essential cause of motives, thoughts, actions, reactions, feelings, and beliefs. He was an extremely intelligent and developed a theory of personality and psychotherapy that prior to him had not seen. He established new ways of viewing and interpreting human behavior. He was a physician and he considered himself to be a biological scientist. As such he was concerned with biological structures such as the mind. He wondered what effect this framework exerted on psychological reactions.
Freud studied hypnosis under Jean-Martin Charcot who was a famous neuropathologist of the time. He began to use this method to treat what was known at the time as hysteria. Hysteria was considered a nervous ailment whose biological cause could not be determined.
Freud came to realize that hypnosis was not sufficient to treat many of his patients. He began to investigate other forms of suggestion such as free association and dreams. He considered dreams to be a royal road or pathway into the realm of the unconscious. He believed that we are given symbols in dreams that either brings us information about wishes we would want to be fulfilled or about wishes we would want to repress. He felt that the mind disguises our wishes with symbols when the material is too th ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Freud proposed that personality development in childhood takes place during five psychosexual stages,
which are the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages. During each stage sexual energy (libido) is
expressed in different ways and through different parts of the body.
These are called psychosexual stages because each stage represents the fixation of libido (roughly
translated as sexual drives or instincts) on a different area of the body. As a person grows physically
certain areas of their body become important as sources of potential frustration (erogenous zones),
pleasure or both.
Freud (1905) believed that life was built round tension and pleasure. Freud also believed that all
tension was due to the build-up of libido (sexual energy) and that all pleasure came from its discharge.
In describing human personality development as psychosexual Freud meant to convey that what
develops is the way in which sexual energy of the id accumulates and is discharged as we mature
biologically. (NB Freud used the term 'sexual' in a very general way to mean all pleasurable actions and
thoughts).
Freud stressed that the first five years of life are crucial to the formation of adult personality.
The id must be controlled in order to satisfy social demands; this sets up a conflict between frustrated
wishes and social norms.
The ego and superego develop in order to exercise this control and direct the need for gratification into
socially acceptable channels. Gratification centers in different areas of the body at different stages of
growth, making the conflict at each stage psychosexual.

4. Oral Stage (Birth to 1 year)
In the first stage of psychosexual development, the libido is centered in a baby's mouth. During
oral stages, the baby gets much satisfaction from putting all sorts of things in its mouth to satisfy
the libido, and thus its id demands. Which at this stage in life are oral, or mouth orientated, such
sucking, biting, and breastfeeding.
Freud said oral stimulation could lead to an oral fixation in later life. We see oral personalities all
around us such as smokers, nail-biters, finger-chewers, and thumb suckers. Oral personalities
engage in such oral behaviors, particularly when under stress.
5. Anal Stage (1 to 3 years)
During the anal stage of psychosexual development 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 (i.e., their ego has developed).
Freud believed that this type of conflict tends to come to a head in potty training, in which adults impose
restrictions on when and where the child can defecate. The nature of this first conflict with authority can
determine the child's future relationship with all forms of authority.
Early or harsh potty training can lead to the child becoming an anal-retentive personality who hates mess, is
obsessively tidy, punctual and respectful of authority. They can be stubborn and tight-fisted with their cash and
possessions.
This is all related to pleasure got from holding on to their feces when toddlers, and their mum's then insisting that
they get rid of it by placing them on the potty until they perform!
Not as daft as it sounds. The anal expulsive, on the other hand, underwent a liberal toilet-training regime during
the anal stage.
6. Phallic Stage (3 to 6 years)
The phallic stage is the third stage of psychosexual development, spanning the ages of three to
six years, wherein the infant's libido (desire) centers upon their genitalia as the erogenous zone.
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).
This is resolved through the process of identification, which involves the child adopting the
characteristics of the same sex parent.
7. Oedipus Complex
The most important aspect of the phallic stage is the Oedipus complex. This is one of Freud's most controversial
ideas and one that many people reject outright.
The name of the Oedipus complex derives from the Greek myth where Oedipus, a young man, kills his father and
marries his mother. Upon discovering this, he pokes his eyes out and becomes blind. This Oedipal is the generic
(i.e., general) term for both Oedipus and Electra complexes.
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.
The little boy then sets out to resolve this problem by imitating, copying and joining in masculine dad-type
behaviors. This is called identification, and is how the three-to-five year old boy resolves his Oedipus complex.
Identification means internally adopting the values, attitudes, and behaviors of another person. The consequence
of this is that the boy takes on the male gender role, and adopts an ego ideal and values that become the
superego.
8. 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.
The girl resolves this by repressing her desire for her father and substituting the wish for a
penis with the wish for a baby. The girl blames her mother for her 'castrated state,' and this
creates great tension.
The girl then represses her feelings (to remove the tension) and identifies with the mother to
take on the female gender role.
9. Latency Stage (6 years to puberty)
The latency stage is the forth stage of psychosexual development, spanning the period of six years to puberty.
During this stage the libido is dormant and no further psychosexual development takes place (latent means
hidden).
Freud thought that most sexual impulses are repressed during the latent stage, and sexual energy can be
sublimated towards school work, hobbies, and friendships.
Much of the child's energy is channeled into developing new skills and acquiring new knowledge, and play
becomes largely confined to other children of the same gender.
10. Genital Stage (puberty to adult)
The genital stage is the last stage of Freud's psychosexual theory of personality development, and begins in
puberty. 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.
For Freud, the proper outlet of the sexual instinct in adults was through heterosexual intercourse. Fixation
and conflict may prevent this with the consequence that sexual perversions may develop.
For example, fixation at the oral stage may result in a person gaining sexual pleasure primarily from kissing
and oral sex, rather than sexual intercourse.
11. Frustration, Overindulgence, and Fixation
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 is 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
psychoanalysts call fixation at a particular psychosexual stage.
Fixation refers to the theoretical notion that a portion of the individual's libido has been
permanently 'invested' in a particular stage of his development.
