Understanding Freud's Phallic Stage Dynamics
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, during the Phallic Stage (approximately 3 to 6 years of age), children's focus of pleasure centers on the genitals.
- Oedipus Complex: Young boys develop an unconscious sexual desire for their mother and view their father as a rival for her affection.
