Psychosexual Theory
One of his most famous and controversial theories. He
proposed that personality develops through a series of
childhood stages in which the libido (sexual energy) is
focused on different erogenous zones of the body.
According to Freud, the way a child navigates these
stages significantly impacts their personality and
behavior in adulthood.
Theory states five stages of human development: oral,
anal, phallic, latency, and genital. These psychosexual
stages capture the main growth points of a person from
infancy to adulthood and focus on different facets of
wants, needs, and desires.
