What is psychosexual development?
Psychosexual development is the theory attributed to Sigmund Freud, a neurologist who has become well known for his psychological theories. According to Freud, the experience of a person at an early age dramatically affects his personality and his future actions. Freud's psychosexual development theory focuses on psychosexual stages, each focusing on a specific part of the body capable of producing pleasant or pleasant feelings and each plays a role in the development of sexual instinct. Freud claimed that the sexual instinct had the most important impact on the personality. He claimed that this instinct was present when the child was born and continued to develop through the psychosexual phases.
The theory of psychosexual development is not only focused on pleasant feelings; It is also considering conflicts that can be based on experiencing these feelings. Freud believed that the fixation would develop if these conflicts remain unresolved long enough. In this case, Chilpsychic energy D, referred to as libido, would be entangled in negotiations with the poisonAnother stage that there would be little to resolve conflicts and challenges of the next phase. He also believed that excessive indulgence would cause the child to not want to proceed, and the underestimation would leave the child necessary. The difficulty in any of the phases could result in a certain personality characteristic.
The oral phase of psychosexual development begins at birth and continues until age. It focuses on the mouth and pleasing experiences of this phase include suction, eating and biting, while the challenge of this phase is weaning. If one had unresolved problems during this phase, Freud believed that it could be too optimistic, naive, addicted, passive, hostile, aggressive or sarcastic as an adult.
Next is an anal phase that dates back to one to three years and and focuses on the rectum. Freud believed that the satisfaction of this phase came from the extrusion and possession in the fecal mass while the toilet training was a challengeou. He claimed that unresolved conflicts at this stage could cause a child to become too elegant, rigid, stubborn, chaotic or rebellious.
The phase phase spreads from three to five or six years and focuses on the genitals. Sexual curiosity and masturbation are pleasing the experience of this phase, while the conflict of Oedipal, which is marked by the child's love for the parent's parents and the desire to replace the parents of the same sex is a challenge. According to Freud, growth into adulthood with unsatisfied challenges from this phase could cause one to become too chaste, promiscuous, futile, flirtatious or proud.
In the stage of latency, from five or six to puberty, the interests of libido are less pronounced and children experience sexual peace. No part of the body is associated with this phase and the child is more interested in hobbies, friends and even school. The genital phase takes over from puberty and people say they are developing renewed sexual interests and engage in mature relationships. Because Freud believed, ŽE majority of personality features have been developed at the beginning of life, these phases are not associated with special personality characteristics. During these phases, challenges may occur due to unresolved conflicts of other phases.
