	Freud's Psychosexual Development in Psychology 101 at AllPsych Online
		Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development are, like other stage theories, completed in a predetermined sequence and can result in either successful completion or a healthy personality or can result in failure, leading to an unhealthy personality.
		During each stage, an unsuccessful completion means that a child becomes fixated on that particular erogenous zone and either over– or under-indulges once he or she becomes an adult.
		Through the lessons learned during the previous stages, adolescents direct their sexual urges onto opposite sex peers, with the primary focus of pleasure is the genitals.

	The Freud Page/ Glossary/ Phallic Stage
		For the first time, in "The Infantile Genital Organisation" (1923), Freud defines the phallic stage (3-5 years of age) that succeeds the oral and anal stages, which are pregenital organizations.
		Thus Freud postulates that boys and girls at the phallic phase are concerned with the polarities of
		During the phallic stage, the culmination of the Oedipus Complex (which connotes the child's situation in the triangular relationship), follows different paths for both sexes in the process of its dissolution: threat of castration (boys) and the desire for a baby as a symbolic equivalent to the penis (girls).

		Each stage is comprised of very important tasks and challenges that assist the person in their development when they complete the task or challenge or accomplish the task or challenge, they are able to move forward in a healthy manner.
		During the phallic stage, the genitals are one of the most important body parts and pleasure is gained from stimulation of the genital regions.
		This is congruent with Freud’s latency stage basically children growing in their beginning to mastery of skills, becoming competent at tasks they’re good at or shown to be good at or on the other side of the that they begin to feel inferior and feel that can’t do anything well.

		In the oral stage, which occupies approximately the first year of life, pleasurable impulses are concentrated in the area of the mouth and lips, the infant's source of nourishment.
		To describe the experience undergone by girls in the Oedipal stage, Freud used the term "Electra complex," which was derived from the name of a figure in Greek mythology who was strongly attached to her father, Agamemnon, and participated in avenging his death at the hands of her mother, Clytemnestra.
		As the phallic stage ends, its conflicts are resolved or repressed, and it is followed by the latency period, during which sexual impulses are dormant.

		The phallic stage of psychosexual development heralds the arrival of the oedipal level of development, in which relationships become more complicated than they were in the past.
		The phallic stage is also characterized by greater tolerance of ambivalence and the ability to maintain an internal representation of the absent object.
		Another major contrast between pregenital stages of development and phallic stage is the nature of the child’s libidinal activity.

	Brief Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theory
		The oral stage, associated with the drive to "incorporate" objects through the mouth, is followed by the anal stage during which the anus becomes an erotogenic zone as the child takes pleasure in defecation.
		The anal stage is also associated with the desire for retention and possessive control (as in "granting or withholding" the faeces).
		The next stage the child enters is the phallic stage when the sexual drive is focused on the genitals.

		The key event at this stage, according to Freud, is the child's feeling of attraction toward the parent of the opposite sex, together with envy and fear of the same-sex parent.
		Interaction with the Environment: This stage is marked by a renewed sexual interest and desire, and the pursuit of relationships.
		For example, attractions to the opposite sex can be a source of anxiety at this stage if the person has not successfully resolved the Oedipal (or Electra) conflict at the phallic stage.

		Researchers of stage development in human personality and behavior believe that developmental stages occur in the same sequence and that each stage is a necessary building block for the proper development of the next stage (Zimbardo and Gerring, 1996).
		As each new stage assumes a dominant role, each proceeding stage would be developed normally, and at the end of puberty, all stages would harmoniously coexist with each other to form a psychologically well-adjusted person.

	Cansever: Psychological Effects of Circumcision
		It is now generally accepted that under the impact of Oedipal strivings and castration anxiety, children at the phallic stage are disposed to experience fantastic fears of bodily damage.
		Although it is common knowledge in psychoanalytic circles that an operational procedure on the child's sexual organs at the phallic stage will augment his anxieties about castration, no research exists in the literature investigating the specific effects of circumcision practised around these ages.
		The results of the tests showed that circumcision, performed around the phallic stage is perceived by the child as an act of aggression and castration.

		The psychosexual stages are a sequence of four stages in personality development, each of which is characterized by preoccupation with experiences involving a specific area of the body--oral, anal, phallic, and genital.
		The phallic stage is the third psychosexual stage, characterized by preoccupation with experiences involving the penis or clitoris.
		The genital stage is the fourth psychosexual stage, characterized by preoccupation with experiences involving the penis or vagina.

	Lesson 8.1: Transcript
		In this stage, the erogenous zone shifts from the anus to the genitals and the child begins to feel the first stirrings of sexual interest in others, which may lead to a complex family drama—at least within the head of the child—called the oedipus complex.
		While there is some research support for the oral and anal stages and the fixations associated with those stages, there is no research support for the psychoanalytic theory of what’s going on during the phallic stage.
		As people enter their teenage years the libido once again stirs in a way that cannot be completely repressed and again the focus of the libido, as in the phallic stage, is the genitals, but now the energy is focused outside the family towards relationships with peers.

	Sigmund Freud
		Anal stage, the next stage, begins around the age of two and the anus is “the focal point anatomically” (Goldman 8).
		Phallic stage at the ages between the ages of three to five deals anatomically with the genitals as pleasure providing organs physiologically.
		An individual who has trouble successfully passing this stage will begin to have a phallic personality, which is known to be someone “who is reckless, self-assured, prideful, and narcissistic” (Stevenson).

	Making the Modern World - Freud's theory of 'Psychosexual Development'
		Each stage is characterised by different demands for sexual gratification and different ways of achieving that gratification.
		Although the term 'genital' suggests that gratification during this stage must inevitably be sexual, Freud emphasised the importance of secondary process thinking as a form of symbolic gratification in this stage.
		If too much libidinal energy is taken up in the first three stages, the individual cannot reach maturity, cannot shift the focus from their own body, their own parents and their immediate needs to larger responsibilities involving others.

	Freud's Stages of Development
		In the oral stage infants and toddler explored the world primarily with their most sensitive area, their mouths.
		The Phallic Stage (3-5 years of age) is probably the most controversial.

	Klages on Freud
		The phallic stage--and Freud argues that "phallic" refers to both penis and clitoris, and is common to both boys and girls--leads a child toward genital masturbation, and hence to the gateway of adult sexuality.
		In the polymorphously perverse phase of development (which includes the oral, anal, and phallic stages), the infant or child is not a stable or unified subject confronting and desiring a particular object, but a complex shifting field of force, of desire, in which the subject, or child, is caught up.
		Thus the girl, or woman, at puberty has the task of switching primary erotogenic zones, from the clitoris which was the focus of her pleasure in the phallic stage, to the vagina, which is to become the focus of her pleasure in adult heterosexual reproductive intercourse, in order to become a "normal" adult.

		The phallic stage occurs from three to five years of age, when pleasure is derived from the genital area.
		The Oedipus complex is a constellation of impulses that occur during the phallic stage.
		The satisfaction obtained during this stage is dependent upon the resolution of conflicts experienced in the earlier stages.

		The anal stage follows the oral stage and is primarily concerned with the child's toilet training.
		During this stage, the focus of pleasure is on the anus (thus the "anal stage").
		According to Freud, the girl's phallic stage is focused on the absence of a penis and the desire to have one ("penis envy").

		The zones give their names to the stages of Personality development in which they are most important to the Libido as sources of pleasure.
		This stage develops from the Oral Stage; thus if the Oral stage is quickly over, the Anal will begin early in the second year of a child's life, and then continue into the third.
		In the Anal stage the source of pleasure is either the release or the retention of Faeces.

	The Scarlet Letter \| v5n2 \| "Facts & Phallacies"
		The phallic stage in the Freudian model actually is one of the infantile stages, occurs before the age of five (rather than after adolescence), is specifically “phallic” in the sense of the male generative organ (rather than gender-neutral), and occurs years before the final stage of development, which is called “genital” (a gender-neutral term).
		Third is the phallic stage, about the end of the third or fourth year, characterized by playful self-stimulation, and the formation of the Oedipal complex.
		During the phallic stage of development comes “penis envy.” In this infamous theory, Freud claimed that the natural course of development is stymied during the phallic stage in girls, and that they blame their mothers for their lack of a phallus.

	Picturing Justice. Cape Fear: a Freudian Analysis by Leesa Sylyski
		An adult who is fixated at this stage will overly engage in activities such as "drinking, smoking, kissing, and eating" or symbolically engage in these activities by "swallowing" anything that he or she hears (Hergenhahn, supra at 27).
		It is not a particularly important stage for this analysis, as none of the characters seem to be fixated at this stage.
		However, he is able to capitalize on Danny's sexual development in the genital stage and her fixation at the phallic stage.

		The oral stage: The lips, tongue, and teeth are at the center of understanding the world.
		Partial fixation in the oral stage is seen as a cause of smoking, overeating, or heightened interest in oral sexual gratification.

	Psychosexual development - WikEd
		The conflics associated with this stage are different for men and women, but are generally defined as desire to possess the care-giver of the opposite sex, and eliminate the same-sex care-giver.
		As a child moves successfully through this stage, he begins to accept that he will never possess his mother, and therefore, begins to identify with his father as a way to possess her vicariously.
		This is the stage that lasts throughout life, and characterized by a desire to develop sexual relationships with the opposite gender.

		It is during the phallic stage that the boy goes through the Oedipal complex, which he named for the Greek myth described in the play Oedipus Rex in which Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother, not knowing his relationship to them.
		During the phallic stage, the child develops an unconscious incestuous desire for the parent of the opposite sex.
		During this stage, according to Freud, the girl must renounce the clitoris in favor of the vagina as the primary source of sexual pleasure to become a mature woman.

	Psychological trauma of circumcision in the phallic period could be avoided by using topical steroids
		At around the age of 3 years, the child enters the phallic stage, which is characterized by genital pleasure and the primary task of finding a love object that will later establish the child’s object choice.
		Freud named the psychodevelopmental stage between the ages of 3 and 5 years as the Oedipal stage and gave special importance to the pathogenesis of neuroses, anxiety disorders, hysterical personality and obsessive-compulsive personality during this period.
		We think that circumcision at the Oedipus complex stage may affect or disturb childhood psychosexual development and eventually is the basis for future disorders.
