PYSCHOSEXUAL STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT

Freud believed that evey child goes through a sequence of developmental stage,
experiences during this stages will later determine his her adult personality
characteristic. The adult pesrsonality is formed by the end of the fifth year of life.
Each stage has an erogenous zone, which is the greatest source of stimulation and
pleasure during that stage. In order to make the smooth transition from one of
psychosexual stage to the next, the child must not over-gratified or under -
gratified because this can lead to either fixation or regression.

Freud uses the term fixation to describe what occurs when a person does not
progress normally from stage, and instead remains overly involved with a
particular stage
Sigmund 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 body parts.

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.
