Phallic Stage:
The phallic stage is the third psychosexual stage in Freudian psychoanalytic theory, occurring between ages 3 and 6. Focused on the genital region, this stage centers on the development of the child's sexual identity. The primary conflict is the Oedipus or Electra complex, where children experience unconscious desires for their opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent. Resolving this complex is crucial for healthy personality development. The phallic stage contributes to the formation of the superego and influences attitudes towards gender and sexuality in later life.
