Explain Psychosexual stages of development.
Psychosexual stages of development, proposed by Sigmund Freud, outline five sequential stages—oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital—spanning childhood to adolescence. Freud posited that each stage corresponds to a primary erogenous zone and involves conflicts between innate desires and societal norms. Successful navigation of these conflicts shapes personality development. The stages are oral (0-1 year), anal (1-3 years), phallic (3-6 years), latent (6-12 years), and genital (puberty onward). Freud's psychosexual theory posits that unresolved conflicts at any stage may lead to psychological issues later in life.
