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.
