Phallic Stage (3-6 years): Focus on the genitals; awareness of gender identity; Oedipus complex (boys) and Electra complex (girls). E. Latency Stage (6 years to Puberty): This stage lasts from about seven years until puberty. During this period, the child continues to grow physically, but sexual urges are relatively inactive. Much of a child’s energy is channelled into social or achievementrelated activities. D. Genital Stage (Puberty to Adulthood): During this stage, the person attains maturity in psychosexual development. The sexuality, fears and repressed feelings of earlier stages are once again exhibited. People learn to deal with members of the opposite sex in a socially and sexually mature way. |
