Detailed Explanation
Understanding Freud's Anal Stage
According to Sigmund Freud's Theory of Psychosexual Development, the second stage is the Anal Stage (approximately 1.5 to 3 years of age), where the child's libido is focused on bowel and bladder control.
- Anal-Retentive Personality: If parents are overly strict during toilet training, the child may develop a rigid, orderly, and stingy personality.
- Anal-Expulsive Personality: Conversely, if parents are too lenient, the child may develop messy, disorganized, and careless traits.
Therefore, the scenario described explicitly corresponds to the Anal Stage and its associated fixation traits.
