Question 17

Fixation at this psychosexual stage of development would, according to Freud, lead to either a very neat person or one who is messy and disorderly.

Accepted Answer

According to Freud's theory, the anal stage of development occurs between the ages of 18 months and three years, during which the child's focus of pleasure is on the anus and the process of elimination. During this stage, parents' attitudes towards toilet training can greatly impact a child's fixation. If toilet training is too strict or forceful, the child may develop an "anal retentive" personality, leading to obsessive behaviors and a need for order and control. On the other hand, if the parents are too relaxed with toilet training, the child may develop an "anal expulsive" personality, resulting in a messy and disorganized lifestyle.

In the Oedipus complex, boys experience sexual desire for their mother and view their father as a rival, while in the Electra complex, girls experience sexual desire for their father and view their mother as a rival. This stage is considered crucial in shaping personality and psychosexual development.
