Freud’s 5 Stages of Psychosexual Development

Freud's theory of psychosexual development outlines five stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. Each stage focuses on different erogenous zones and can lead to fixations if not resolved. The theory also emphasizes the role of the unconscious mind, which stores early experiences and influences behavior. Freud's work suggests that understanding and integrating our complexes can lead to healthier lives.
