The Oral Stage:
In Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the oral stage is the first psychosexual stage of human development, occurring from birth to approximately 18 months. The focus is on oral gratification, primarily through activities such as feeding and sucking. Success in this stage leads to the development of trust and a sense of security. Failure may result in fixation, leading to oral-related issues such as dependency or excessive independence. The oral stage lays the foundation for subsequent psychosocial development, influencing personality traits and coping mechanisms.
