So, what do you think of the Freudian Theory.
These are the basic stages
First Year-- the oral stage -- the mouth is the focus of pleasureable sensations as the baby sucks and bites
Second Year---anal stage--- the anus is the focux of pleasureable snesations as the baby learns to control eliminations
Third to Sixth Year---Phallic Stage--- Children develop sexual curiosity and obtain gratification when they masturbate. They have sexual fantasies about the parent of the opposite sex and feel guilty about their fantasies
Seventh Year through Puberty --- Latency --- Sexual urges are submerged. Children focux on mastery of skills valued by adults
Adolescence--- Genital Stage--- Adolescents have adult sexual desires, and they seek to satisfy them.
You must remember that Freud thought that all this was going on subconsciously.
Or do we want to go more with his whole Id, Ego and Superego? Though, in a round about way, they do influence the different stages.
