I feel like Freud's psychosexual theory is literally his own projection.

I dont.

I doubt it. I’d doubt he’d remember being young and wanting to kill his dad and do his mom.

He studied a lot of patients and based his theories on that. Although his theories may be dismissed nowadays, people have to understand they didn’t come out of his ass

[@SuperBlakes2]

I do and I have to research what libido means. Cause apart from the sexual body parts, the rest of the chart is quite clever.

Sometimes studying something wrong can help you come to an appreciation of the great ideas that came as a result. The thoroughly developed ideas of Freud were a starting point for many to disprove his theories and make better ones. It’s hard to study the psyche but Freud was a pioneer.

I believe that fixation during that latent period leads to lack of communication skills and/or inabilities and complications with same sex relationships. I didn’t have any girl friends when I was younger and only hung out with boys but somehow find myself always being insecure of my relationships to females. I can never be friends with them and I find it hard to socialize with them. I see them as rivals etc. but I also think I have a phallic fixation as well

Freud never used the term "Electra Complex". In fact, he rejected it in writing. Weird. Khan Academy videos are usually so carefully prepared.

Thank you! I believe that psychoalysis is only for diagnosis, not for treatment. The problem is who scores first, not the relationship quality. You are forgetting that the time parameter is present in all our life, it's a kind of cultural illness. The overvaluation of time sometimes is that we go crazy. That's because we are involved into a competition dynamic instead cooperation.

[@716Sathvik]

I have recently studied this theory in psychology class. I believe its definitely true and the logic very well holds true with respect to the various adult fixations thats so conspicuous to us in our everyday surroundings. Some suggestions- In the oral stage, i believe the parents should never totally stop their child from sucking the thumb as its a really important stage which can affect the future behavioural characteristics of the child. Every parent must be educated on the psycho sexual stages of development so that they are well aware of their child's behaviour and address them well enough. Anal stage must definitely be catered to as it shapes the person's personality in the future. The rest of the stages are very normal and little can be done about them

[@a.b3748]

I agree. What should be done after realizing that someone's issues are related to a stage? making connections with trauma from the past isn't that hard but I'm not sure how that's useful to resolve it, not just understand it.

[@alexandraxox]

Freud also said that (in the same theory you're talking about) catering to a child's needs too much can also cause fixations and neediness. Not trying to be rude or anything but nobody called you out on that fact so I thought I should

[@tashanaude9884]

GRiMHOLD - this was the start and or exploring development. Freud also helps us understand that we have an unconscious. These were the first PPP to present this kind if though. That is why the best form of therapyo I have Bipolar 2.

[@teehee4096]

he was correct about there being a relationship between the brain's view of parental archetypes and its sexual development, with much of it being the brain's perceptions of love, touch, intimacy, and pleasure, as well as the taboo bodily organs, he missed the mark with the absurd details he added on afterwards

[@ramitseth9865]

I think the theory is wrong about the phallic stage. Never really seen it happening in real life even with small children in that age group!

[@muniraaa]

@@ramitseth9865 Actually, according to the theory, all sexual attraction in the phallic stage is in the child's unconscious, i.e., he/she will not be aware of it. The child will be hostile towards the same-sex parent at first, and then after successful resolution of the complex he/she will be identifying with them instead. But throughout, the sexual feelings behind this that Freud proposed are in the unconscious.

[@ramitseth9865]

[@ArtByTrahnay]

Cool theory but you lost me at "sexual dysfunction" and "sexually mature and mentally unhealthy" So... To confront the elephant in the room it feels like a shot at the LGBT community. I don't know why people feel the need to walk around topics like this and make a someone else's preference seen inappropriate or unhealthy. I get where the chart is going, makes a lot of sense, it's science but use better words, please. Don't dance around the subject people are different, not because they idolized either their mom or dad based on their gender and they're definitely not in your words "mentally unhealthy" because of it. It's not a big deal its just a little pet peeve of mine. I know it wasn't meant to be disrespectful, I'm just throwing my opinion out there.

[@GalileoFigar0]

The speaker is teaching us a scientific theory. She does not necessarily agree with or believe any of it. She presents the theory as fact because within the context of this unit of study, these are the facts. Sort of like if your English teacher asked you “Where does Boo Radley live?” - you would answer “Next door to Jem and Scout”. Although you know that Boo Radley does not actually exist, you would still present your answer as fact.

I don't believe it had anything to do with homosexuality, it is base on children pairing off with the same-sex. For instance, girls played with girls and guys played with guys. They're just having the same-sex friendship, see nothing to worry about you are, perfectly straight.

[@julianvalencia2044]

We are animals with animal needs. Sexuality in the early stages of development only serve as the source of motivation and energy to move forward in eventually becoming a full developed adult animal( in our case human).

[@julianvalencia2044]

When they refer to homosexuality; they're not talking about girl wanting to be sexual with other girls or a boy wanting to be sexual with other boys ( though it can happen). Homo=same, the same, equal, like ; sexual=Of or relating to gender. The theory simply states that we are attracted to the same sex because we feel comfortable with what we know and as we develop and mature we become more daring in exploring the opposite sex.

But it's amazing how Freud remains so influential in psychology. Even today the idea that 'envy' is an evolved function concerned with competition and status is generally rejected, regardless of all the supporting evidence, such as: ‘Envy’ is universal among human societies ‘Envy’ is both excitable and compulsive The focus of ‘envy’ is generally a perceived rival of the same sex We observe other animal species to act in ways which in humans we would regard as ‘envious’ behaviour ‘Envious’ behaviour in humans directly corresponds with ways in which animal systems of competition and hierarchy operate See hagioptasia.wordpress.com/2017/02/24/the-roots-of-narcissism-other-highly-problematic-human-traits/
