Carl smokes, drinks alcohol, overeats, and bites his nails. Which stage of Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development has Carl become fixated at ?

ALatency Stage

BAnal Stage

COral Stage

DPhallic Stage

Answer:

C. Oral Stage

Read Explanation:

  • Freud believed that we develop through stages based upon a particular erogenous (part of the body sensitive to sexual stimulation) zone.
  • According to Freud’s theory, unsuccessful completion of a stage means that a child becomes fixated at that particular erogenous zone. Smoking, drinking, eating, and biting your nails all have to do with the mouth.
  • Oral Stage. According to Freud’s theory, Carl must have received too much or too little gratification as a child so he has developed an Oral Personality and has become fixated at the Oral Stage.
