Stages of personality development according to Freud

Oral stage= first stage occurring in the first year of life in which the mouth is the erogenous zone and weaning is the primary conflict.

Anal stage= second stage occurring from about 1-3 years of age in which teh anus is the erogenous zone and toilet training is the source of conflict. Freud believed that kids got pleasure from holding and releasing there feces at will.

Phallic stage= thrid stage occurring from about 3-6 years of age, in which the child discovers sexual feelings. erogenous zone shfts to the genitals. Kids have discovered the differences between sexes and most have also engaged in self stimulation of the genitals, or masturbation

I never liked Freud's theory.

I just found it fitting with this topic. I am currently learning about the stages of personality and Freud, Horney, Adler, and Erikson
