Theory of Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Frued

Psychoanalytic Child Development Theories

Sigmund Freud focused on the importance of childhood happenings and experiences, and it was almost about mental disorders rather than normal functioning.

Freud has recommended the Freud's stages of psychosexual development. In "Three Essays on Sexuality" (1915), Freud outlined these stages as oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. Each stage involves the satisfaction of a libidinal desire and can later play a role in adult personality. If a child does not successfully complete a stage, Freud suggested that he or she would develop a fixation that would later influence adult personality and behavior.
