Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Development
In Freudian psychology, psychosexual development is a central element of the psychoanalytic sexual drive theory, that human beings, from birth, possess an instinctual libido that develops in five stages. Each stage – the oral, the anal, the phallic, the latent, and the genital – is characterized by the erogenous zone that is the source of the libidinal drive. Sigmund Freud proposed that if the child experienced sexual frustration in relation to any psychosexual developmental stage, she or he would experience anxiety that would persist into adulthood as a neurosis, a functional mental disorder. To avoid anxiety, the child becomes fixated, preoccupied with the psychologic themes related to the erogenous zone in question, which persist into adulthood, and underlie the personality and psychopathology of the man or woman, as neurosis, hysteria, personality, and so on.
The child is expected to pass the first stage of Freud’s theory and must be developing the second stage in parallel to his age. This stage focuses on its anal region as the client begins toilet training. The client find pleasure in both retention of feces and defecation. The child should be trained or guided by his mother to do or achieve bowel and bladder control without undue emphasis on its importance.
During their home assessment and interview of the mother of the client the child is not really trained to defecate in the toilet because the family doesn’t have comfort room and so the child is usually defecating at the back of their house near the farm. Which, this indicates that they don’t have a clean environment because they leave the feces on their backyard.
Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Erikson believed that his psychosocial principle is genetically inevitable in shaping human development. It occurs in all people. Erikson's psychosocial theory basically asserts that people experience eight 'psychosocial crisis
