Freud's Psychosexual Development

Freud's Psychosexual Development is a theory suggesting that early childhood experiences influence personality. He proposed that children's pleasure focuses on different body zones in stages: Oral (mouth), Anal (bowel control), Phallic (genital awareness), Latency (social skills), and Genital (mature relationships). Successful navigation through each stage fosters healthy development, while disruptions may lead to personality issues later. It's a way to understand how early instincts and experiences shape behavior, emotions, and relationships throughout life.
