For instance, Carl Gustav Jung disagreed with Freud at the personal unconscious point. He/she can now be included in society in a more adult way.Īfter Freud’s contributions to psychoanalytic development of personality, some other psychoanalysts became neo-Freudians and contribute to this area. For a child, relations with the opposite sex develop. If fixation is experienced during this period, it may be observed that they will be too hardworking or too lazy in the future. The child develops more in social and intellectual areas. Because in this stage, the sexual feelings of the child are repressed. Generally, boys play with boys girls play with girls. The fourth of the psychosexual stages is Latency Stage. If the Oedipus and Electra complex periods are overcome by experiencing problems, that is, by experiencing fixation, it is possible to observe cases of not being able to separate from the parents or wanting to separate from them completely in the future. Freud argues that girls suppress this hatred by being with a man in the future and giving birth to a child. The source of the hatred is that her mother gave birth to her without a penis. She may harbor feelings of admiration and hatred towards her mother at the same time. In that manner, she begins to envy her mother. This jealousy towards the father can turn into hatred, anxiety, or admiration over time.Įlectra Complex: It is the physical attraction or love that the girl begins to have towards the opposite-sex parent (father). Oedipus Complex: It is the physical attraction or love that the boy begins to have towards the opposite-sex parent (mother), as well as the jealousy of the same-sex parent (father). With this sexual awakening, a conflict called Oedipus Complex occurs according to Freud. This phase is like discovery and awakening for the child.

In this stage, the child becomes aware of him/her sexual organs. It occurs in the period between 3rd age and 6th age. If this period is experienced badly, excessive disorganization or meticulousness, stinginess and indecision can be observed in adulthood. With toilet training, the child learns to control himself/herself. The anus is erizone, so the source of conflict is toilet training. It occurs in the period between 18 months and 36 months. When the person becomes an adult, some kind of behaviors such as smoking, talking too much, drinking too much, nail-biting can be observed (due to the fixation). The mouth is the erogenous zone, so if weaning (from the mother’s breast) is not done on time, there will be conflict over the person’s oral needs. The conflict here occurs when the child begins to drink milk from another place rather than from the mother’s breast.

This stage happens in the first 18 months of the child. The first of the psychosexual stages is the Oral Stage.

In the later stages of her life, she /he will have some behaviors as a result of this being stuck. Fixation: In one of the early stages of development, as a result of the unhealthy completion of the stage, the child is stuck with the behavior that is the source of pleasure.
