    Sigmund Freud (born 6 May 1856, died 23 September 1939) is an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. When he was young, Sigmund Freud’s family moved from Frieberg, Moravia to Vienna where he would spend most of his life. His parents taught him at home after entering him in Spurling Gymnasium, where he was first in his class and graduated Summa cum Laude. After studying medicine at University of Vienna, Freud worked and gained respect as a physician. Through his work with respected French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, Freud became fascinated with the emotional disorder known as hysteria. Freud believed that adult personality problems were the result of early experiences in life. He believed that we go through five stages of psychosexual development and that at each stage of development we experience pleasure in one part of the body than in others. Erogenous zones are parts of the body that have especially strong pleasure-giving qualities at particular stages of development. Freud thought that our adult personality is determined by the way we resolve conflicts between these early sources of pleasure - the mouth, the anus and the genitals - and demands of reality. Fixation is the psychoanalytic defense mechanism that occurs when the individual remains locked in an earlier development stage because needs are under or over gratified.…

    According to Berger (2010), a developmental theory is a systematic statement of principles and generalizations that provide a framework for understanding how and why people change as they get older. After many years of observations, theorists have tried to use their findings to construct a sort of map of the human path from an infant through childhood and finally through adulthood. Psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism, and cognitive theory are three theories that focus on human development.…

    The phases of human development can be culturally defined. In fact, an individual's culture, or environment, plays a huge role in the developmental process. These influences are present even in the embryonic stages of development. For example, if a pregnant woman is a part of a culture or group which places a value on smoking or burning incents, than the mother is likely to inhale a large amount of smoke. The toxins from the smoke could have adverse effects on the baby's development which could lead to a deformity or birth complication. Another example could be a young child, say 5 years old, who is a part of a culture who only eats plants. The human body requires a balanced diet consisting of grains, dairy, fruit, meat etc. in order to be…
