Freud’s Stages of
Psychosexual Development
The theory is quite interesting for many

because Freud identified specific erogenous
zones for each stage of development. These
are specific “Pleasure areas” that become
focal points for the particular stage. If needs
are not met along the area, a fixation
occurs. As an adult. The person will now
manifest behaviors related to this erogenous
zone.
ORAL STAGE
(Birth 0-1year). Pleasure centers on the

mouth- sucking, biting and chewing. The
erogenous zone is too much or too little
satisfaction can lead to an Oral Fixation or Oral
Personality which is shown in an increased focus
an oral activities. This type of personality may be
oral receptive, that is have a stronger tendency
to smoke, drink alcohol, overheat, oral
aggressive, that is, with a tendency to bite his
or her nails, or use curse words or even gossip.
ANAL STAGE
(1-3 years). Pleasures focuses on bowel and

bladder domination coping for demand
control. The child’s focus of pleasure in this stage
is the anus. The child find satisfaction in eliminating
and retaining feces. Through society’s expectations
particularly the parents the child needs to work on
toilet training feces.
In terms of personality, fixation this stage can result
in being anal retentive, an obsession with
cleanliness, perfection, and control; or anal
expulsive where the person may become messy
and disorganized.
PHALLIC STAGE
(Age 4 to 6 years). Pleasure zone is genitals;

coping w/ ancestors sexual feelings. During
the preschool age, children become interested in
what makes boys and girls different.
 OEDIPUS COMPLEX- Male attach to his mother.

This stage develop unconscious sexual desire for
their mother. Boy’s then see their father as a
rival for her mother’s affection. Boy’s may fear
that their father will punish them for these
feelings, thus, the castration anxiety.
 ELECTRA COMPLEX- Female attach to his father.
Psychoanalysts also believed that girls may also
have a similar experience, developing
unconscious sexual attraction towards their
father.
A fixation in this stage could result in sexual
deviances (both overindulging and avoidance) and
weak or confused sexual identity according to
psychoanalysts.
In Greek Mythology, Oedipus unintentionally killed
his father and married his mother Jocasta
LATENCY STAGE
(Age 7 to 12 years). Dormant sexual

feelings, identification process, gender
identity. Its during this stage urges remain
repressed. The children’s focus is the
acquisition of physical and academic skills.
Boys usually more with boys and girls with
girls during this stage.
GENITAL STAGE
(Age 13+years or Puberty towards).

Maturation of sexual interests. The fifth
stage of psychosexual development begins at
the start of puberty when sexual urges are
once again awakened. In the earlier stages,
adolescents focus their sexual urges towards
the opposite sex peers, with the pleasure
centered on the genitals.
Freud’s Personality Components
Freud described the personality structures as

having three components:
ID- Animalistic nature of man, destructive and

pleasure seeking. The ID operates on the
pleasure principle. It focuses on immediate
gratification or satisfaction of its needs.
EGO- (self) Human nature of man, acts
according to laws and morals, bounds by
limits of reality.
As a baby turns into a toddler and then into a
preschooler, he/she relates more with the
environment, the ego slowly begins to emerge.
The ego operates using the reality principle.
It is aware that others also have needs to be
met. Although it functions to help the id meet
its needs, it always takes into account the
reality of the situation.
SUPER EGO- (conscience) strive for

perfections. To be good or honorable
Near the end of the preschool years, or the
end of the phallic stage, the super ego
embodies a person’s moral aspect. This develop
from what the parents, teachers and other
persons who exert influence impart to be good
or moral. The super ego is likened to
conscience because it exerts influence on what
one considers right or wrong.
TOPOGRAPHICAL MODEL
UNCONSCIOUS- Contained repressed urges

thoughts, memories and wishes which are
disturbing and threatening. Freud said that
most we go through in our lives, emotions,
beliefs, feelings, and impulses deep within are
not available to us at a conscious level.
CONSCIOUS- Consists of our thoughts,
desires and wishes. Freud also said that all
that we are aware of its stored in our
conscious mind.
SUBCONSCIOUS- Consists of experience that
we are not aware of but made conscious by
simply focusing on them, aware but not
retrieved. Subconscious or pre-conscious, this
the part of us that we can reach if prompted,
but it is not our conscious.
