2. Biography
Sigmund Freud was born May 6, 1856 in Freiberg, but as a young child his family moved to Vienna where he lived and worked for the remainder of his life. He attended school and received his medical degree in 1881, where he then opened a private practice and began treating patients on varies psychological disorders. Sigmund Freud explored the human mind more than any other before him. He contributed a huge amount to psychology, as he was one of the most influential people of the twentieth century, and his current legacy has influenced not only psychology, but art, literature and even the way people raise their children. During the beginning of his career Freud took interest in Josef Breuer. With inspiration from Breuer, Freud believed that neuroses, which is a mild personality disorder, was an issue that had been caused by traumatic experiences that had taken place in the patient's past, which he strongly believed was the reason behind their current psychological issue.

This was called psychoanalysis therapy. It was a method for treating mental illness and was also a therapy that explained human behaviors. Psychoanalysis is more commonly known as the talking cure. Freud would encourage his patients to talk freely and describe exactly what was on their mind and how they were feeling. It releases emotions and makes the unconscious feelings and emotions conscious. After working together for years, Josef Breuer ended the work relationship between the two because he felt Freud focused too much on the sexual aspects of a patient and that he was not open to new ideas. Some of his greatest and also controversial theories were the Ego and the Id, the Interpretation of Dreams, and the Psychosexual theory.

5. Psychosexual Theory- What is it?
The Psychosexual development was a theory created by Sigmund Freud. He believed that infants are born with a libido, which is a sexual urge. The Psychosexual theory is composed of five stages; the Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and the Genital Stage.

6. Oral Stage
The Oral stage occurs from birth to approximately 18 months. An infant’s main source of interaction is through their mouth. At this time in life a child is mainly focused on oral pleasures like rooting and sucking on objects. The infant receives a form of pleasure through oral stimulation by participating in activities such as eating, sucking on a bottle, or putting objects in their mouth. At this age infants cannot feed themselves so they gain trust and also comfort through oral stimulation because some one else is constantly feeding them.

8. Anal Stage
The anal stage is between the ages 1-3. During this stage the libido changes and is focused on the anus. Children receive pleasure in bowel movements. The child at this age understands that they are a person and that their wants can create issues or conflict. Freud believed that this type of conflict tended to come out during potty training, in which adults have a great deal of authority on when and where the child can use the washroom. This first conflict with authority can determine the child's future relationship with all forms of power and dominance.

9. Anal Attentive Personality
Early, forced, or harsh potty training can lead to a child becoming an anal retentive personality. Someone who hates mess, is extremely tidy, punctual and respectful of other people’s authority. They can be stubborn and stingy with their money and possessions. This is all relates back to pleasure received from holding on to their feces when toddlers, and their caregiver then encouraging that they get rid of it by placing them on the toilet until they go to the washroom.

10. Phallic Stage
Phallic Stage: This stage happens between the ages The libido changes again during this stage and the sensitivity is now focused on the genital areas and masturbation. The child becomes aware of gender differences, which sets conflict between attraction, jealously, resentment, and fear, which Freud called the Oedipus complex in boys and the Electra complex in girls.

11. Oedipus complex
The Oedipus complex is the most important thing when it comes to the phallic stage. This is one of Freud’s most controversial and also rejected ideas. The Oedipus complex comes from a Greek myth where Oedipus, a young man, murders his father and marries his mother. Freud believed that in a young boy the Oedipus complex began because the boy develops sexual desires for his mother and wants her all to himself. The boy thinks that if the father finds out he will be taken away from who he loves the most, which is his mother. During this stage boys develop castration anxiety, which means there scared of losing their penis so to resolve the problem of the Oedipus complex they copy and join in on masculine “dad-type” behaviors. Freud believed that their masculine side comes from this because their constantly competing with the dad for the mom. 

12. Electra complex
For girls the Electra complex is somewhat similar to the Oedipus complex. Girls have sexual desires for their fathers but realize they don't have a penis’s and this leads to the development of penis envy and the wish to be a boy. Girls substitute the desire for their father’s and the wish for a penis by wanting a baby. The girl blames the mom for her gender state and this makes tension between the two. The girl then suppresses her feelings to remove the tension and takes on the female gender role. 

13. Latency Stage
The Latency Stage starts around the age five or approximately when the child begins school, and it goes all the way up to puberty. During this stage no further psychosexual development occurs. Freud believed that during this stage the sexual desires of the child has slowed down and has momentarily been paused. He believed during this stage that sexual energy was sublimated, which basically means that children participate in things that are more accepted in society, like school work, extra curricular activities, and friendships. 

14. Genital Stage
The Genital stage occurs from puberty to adult hood. This is the last stage in his psychosexual theory. During this stage sexual experimentation takes place. Sexual desire is now directed towards heterosexual pleasure rather than self pleasure like during the phallic stage. If the other stages of the psychosexual theory have been completed successfully the adolescence  should have a caring, loving, and warm personality who has the desire to settle down in a long term relationship. 

15. Connection to Real Life Children
Oral stage: Babies and small children are subconsciously always putting things in their mouth. It may be a toy, car keys, a bottle or any object really that they can get their hands on. They drink milk out of bottles and put pacifiers in their mouths. Anal Stage: This is the one stage of the psychosexual theory that I can personally relate to the play school. The children who use the bathroom have learned how to, for the most part control their blatter and bowl moments. Latency Stage: The latency stage relates to real life children because around the ages they start going to school friendships are built and children begin to learn what a friend is. For example in the play school you will see children interacting with one another and some of them have begun remembering names and are able to identify names to faces.

16. Weaknesses
Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual theory is very controversial in today’s society, and has faced much criticism. Freud never directly worked with children so his stages were simply based off of his knowledge and work experience with adults. Also many feel that his work was too much directed towards human sexuality, and that it was wrong to relate sexual activity to children. Lastly many critics find Freud’s theory to be sexist and overly dependent on male involvement. For example his belief that girls develop a sexual libido due to “penis envy.”
