		The concept of psychosexual development, as envisioned by Sigmund Freud at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, is a central element in the theory of psychology.
		In the development of his theories, Freud's main concern was with sexual desire, defined in terms of formative drives, instincts and appetites that result in the formation of an adult personality.
		This phase is typified by a solidifying of the habits that the child developed in the earlier stages.

	Making the Modern World - Glossary
		His extensive theory of personality development (psychoanalytical theory) is the cornerstone for modern psychological thought, and consists of (1) the psychosexual stages of development, (2) the structural model of personality (id, ego, superego), and (3) levels of consciousness (conscious, subconscious, and unconscious).
		Freud's fourth stage of psychosexual development where sexuality is repressed in the unconscious and children focus on identifying with their same sex parent and interact with same sex peers.
		Developed by Sigmund Freud, this type of therapy is known for long term treatment, typically several times per week, where the unresolved issues from the individual's childhood are analysed and resolved.

	THE MYSTIC NATURE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT by Robert Atkinson University of Southern Maine
		Psychosexual Development It is generally accepted that Sigmund Freud was the first to put forth a systematic theory of human development.
		Believing that the sexual urge was at the core of human development, and that this starts soon after birth, the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages of his psychosexual theory cover most of what he has to say about the development of the child and the adolescent.1 The adult was fully developed sexually.
		His cognitive theory of development shifted attention to the active mental processes of the child, beginning with the sensorimotor stage and moving on to the preoperational, then the concrete operational, and finally the formal operational stage in adolescence.

	Sexual Development and Behaviour
		Psychosexual Development is a broad term that can be considered the process of growing and maturing physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually so that there is a healthy balance between the physical/biological aspects of sexual behaviour and the psychological and emotional context in which the behaviour occurs.
		Assessment of a person’s psychosexual development must also include consideration of environmental influences, such as the modern media, ethnic/cultural beliefs, family practices, past exposure to sexuality, possible abuse (physical and emotional, as well as sexual), and sexual knowledge.
		In general terms, psychosexual health refers to a state in which adult needs for sexual behaviour are driven by a desire for contact with a loved person, and in which mutual sexual activities in the context of an intimate relationship are satisfying.

	Psychosexual Development
		The child's libido centers on behavior affecting the primary erogenous zone of his age; he cannot focus on the primary erogenous zone of the next stage without resolving the developmental conflict of the immediate one.
		The resolution of the phallic stage leads to the latency period, which is not a psychosexual stage of development, but a period in which the sexual drive lies dormant.
		The less energy the child has left invested in unresolved psychosexual developments, the greater his capacity will be to develop normal relationships with the opposite sex.

		Moreover, the development of the observed psychological characteristics, low self-esteem in particular, could have been induced by the reaction of their peers regarding their deficiency (e.g., mockery, jokes) (Berg and Berg, 1983a, 1983b).
		Almost 41% of children/adolescents and 33% of adults operated on for hypospadias reported having received comments on the appearance of their penis, in public, in places where it was necessary to undress in front of others (e.g., in the locker room while changing for sports, or in public toilets).
		The authors highlighted the fact that the later development of boys operated on for hypospadias could be influenced by factors in the environment such as the reaction of parents and peers.

		In contrast, Erikson’s theories of child development focus on the interrelationship between a developing child’s internal psychosexual development and his or her more external emotional development, emphasizing the interpersonal relationships that arise between the child and parents (Erikson, 1950).
		Understanding the process of development requires knowledge, ranging from the most fundamental level—that of gene expression and interactions between molecules and cells—all the way up to the highest levels of cognition, memory, emotion, and language.
		A fuller understanding of development is not only important in its own right, but it is expected to pave the way for our ultimate understanding of mental health and mental illness and how different factors shape their expression at different stages of the life span.

	SparkNotes: Social and Emotional: Psychodynamic Approaches to Social Development
		Although psychodynamic approaches to social and emotional development are not currently popular in scientific psychology, they have had an enormous influence on the way we think about early childhood relationships.
		Erik Erikson's theory of social development has not driven a great deal of research, but it is one of few examples of a theory that attempts to explain development over the whole of the life course.
		The result of this choice has a permanent effect on the individual's development; if trust is not learned, the individual may be plagued by isolation and loneliness throughout life.
