🌷The Psychosexual Development Theory

🌾1. Oral 
From birth to 18 months 
Overstimulation - Gullible, Easy to be fooled 
Understimulation - Mistrust, alcoholic drinker, smoker and gossiper 
Charactersitics - Mouth is the center of pleasure and major source of gratification and exploration

🌾2. Anal Stage (toilet training) 
18 months to 3 years 
Overstimulation - Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, too obedient 
Understimulation - Messy, clumsy, disobedient and rebellious

🌾3. PHALLIC (Penis) 
3-6 years old 
Overstimulation - Pervert 
Understimulation - Frigid impotence, too shy 
Charactersitics - Genitalia as the source of pleasure (masturbation). Develops Elektra and Oedipus complex

🌾4. LATENCY (school age) 
6- puberty 
Overstimulation - Workaholic
Understimulation -Failing grades 
Charactersitics - Energy directed to physical and intellectual activities. Sexual responses are repressed. Normal homosexual stage (relationship with same sex or “barkada”

🌾5. GENITAL 
Puberty onwards 
Charactersitics - Energy towards full sex maturity. Reappearance of Oedipus and Elektra complex but directed to opposite sex
🌷*Oedipus Complex means that the son is more into the mother while Elektra Complex means that the daughter is more into the father.

🌷*Overstimulation means that when the child during the given age of a particular stage is given something too much may result to something negative. For example, during the Oral stage, if the baby doesn‟t need a breastfeed but the mother still gives him milk he will become too used to it resulting to being gullible when he grow up. On the other hand, if the baby is understimulated or wants milk to the point that he/she is crying but the mother always ignore him/her, then the baby will grow up as if he/she always wanted to have something in his mouth for he/she was deprived of it. This may result for him/her to be a drinker, a smoker or gossiper.

Sigmund Freud also developed the differences between our id, ego, and superego.
🌷EGO (moral principle; conscience) SUPEREGO (reality principle; balances id and ego) ID (evil; the “I” principle; self-centered)
