> So, what do you think of the Freudian Theory.
I think...
It is a theory...
I'm not too sure how to take it...> These are the basic stages
(Is this supposed to describe 'normal development'?)
> First Year-- the oral stage -- the mouth is the focus of pleasureable sensations as the baby sucks and bites
> Second Year---anal stage--- the anus is the focux of pleasureable snesations as the baby learns to control eliminations
> Third to Sixth Year---Phallic Stage--- Children develop sexual curiosity and obtain gratification when they masturbate. They have sexual fantasies about the parent of the opposite sex and feel guilty about their fantasies> Seventh Year through Puberty --- Latency --- Sexual urges are submerged. Children focux on mastery of skills valued by adults
> Adolescence--- Genital Stage--- Adolescents have adult sexual desires, and they seek to satisfy them.
> You must remember that Freud thought that all this was going on subconsciously.
Hmm. How are we to test his theory? Would there be findings that would show it to be false?
> Or do we want to go more with his whole Id, Ego and Superego? Though, in a round about way, they do influence the different stages.
Dunno...
I guess...
If you accept the Freudian framework...
Then you have an 'explanation' for different things.
What I wonder about...
Is whether we should / why we should accept that framework to start with.But I dunno...
