Hey guys, it`s Nikki and in this video I’ll
be explaining what`s happening if something
goes wrong in the different stages of psychosexual
development if it sounds interesting just
continue watching.
Let`s start with the first stage the Oral-
the satisfaction comes from the mount of the
baby by sucking, biting.
When we have a fixation which is a very strong
impression of id`s pleasure or in other words,
just a problem with the transition through
this period can case smoking, nail- biting
or even in some cases over eating.
Because the baby linked the food with pleasure
and as grownups when the libido is unable
to get satisfaction of a drive, it can go
back to psychosexual development to find a
way to relieve the drive`s energy in a different
way.
Let`s say you are crazy about a girl and you
want to sleep with her but she`s way above
your league?
So you have the desire but it`s impossible
for you to have sex with her so you comfort
yourself with a piece of chocolate cake and
later on, you even forget you`ve liked the
girl but every time you see her, you crave
cake.
At this point the libido’s energy is relieved
through eating instead of heterosexual sex.
The second one is the Anal stage where the
focus is on to the use of the anus.
In this period an early or harsh potty training
can cause the adult to become obsessively
tidy and to have strong respect of authority.
That`s called anal- retentive.
So if your mom is crazy about tidiness blame
it on grandma and if you are a messy, disorganized
and rebellious person, you`ve guessed it blame
it on mom.
You are anal- expulsive because mom was too
liberal with the potty training.
And here it comes the Phallic stage where
the Oedipus and the Electra Complex take place.
All these girls with daddy issues and mama`s
boys, this is their place of origin.
In this period children construct the notion
of love, jealousy, learn what it means to
be a male and female and how they are supposed
to act according to their gender (the process
of identification- copying their parents).
So if in this stage let`s say the mother is
cold to her child, the child later in life
will show its affection with coldness.
It`s the same with the clingy type.
Unsuccessful identification in this period
can be the case for a cross-dressing, the
desire to be drag queen or change of gender
(transgender operation) and so on.
FN: not my opinion just conclusion by following
Freud`s train of thought.
Up until here the first three stages are also
called first infant phase (before genital)
where most important role play the sadistic
and the anal drives.
That`s why it is often referred to as sadistic-anal
stage.
We skip the Latent stage because there is
nothing going on except that the libido is
sleeping.
The Genital stage is where you`re supposed
to figure it all out.
What is sex, how to do it and who to do it
with?
I really don`t think it needs a lot of explanation
so let’s just say if you have a foot fetish
or have the desire to sleep with sheeps most
likely something in this period went seriously
wrong.
