Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of DevelopmentDevelopment
Each stage represents a source of unconscious conflict between the id and the parents who put restrictions on the gratification of instinctual drives and unconscious desires. The parents and society help create the superego, which battles the id for influence over the ego.
Fixation, getting stuck in a stage, can occur from either over-gratification or under-gratification of the id’s desires.
