During the phallic stage what the boy loves most is his penis. Irrationally, the boy thinks that if his father were to find out about all this, his father would take away what he loves the most. He wants to possess his mother exclusively and get rid of his father to enable him to do so. In the young boy, the Oedipus complex or more correctly, conflict, arises because the boy develops sexual (pleasurable) desires for his mother. This Oedipal is the generic (i.e., general) term for both Oedipus and Electra complexes. Upon discovering this, he pokes his eyes out and becomes blind. The name of the Oedipus complex derives from the Greek myth where Oedipus, a young man, kills his father and marries his mother. This is one of Freud's most controversial ideas and one that many people reject outright. The most important aspect of the phallic stage is the Oedipus complex. In essence, they are 'sharing their s**t'!' An anal-expulsive personality is also messy, disorganized and rebellious. In adulthood, the anal expulsive is the person who wants to share things with you. The anal expulsive, on the other hand, underwent a liberal toilet-training regime during the anal stage. This is all related to pleasure got from holding on to their faeces when toddlers, and their mum's then insisting that they get rid of it by placing them on the potty until they perform! They can be stubborn and tight-fisted with their cash and possessions. The nature of this first conflict with authority can determine the child's future relationship with all forms of authority.Įarly or harsh potty training can lead to the child becoming an anal-retentive personality who hates mess, is obsessively tidy, punctual and respectful of authority. Freud believed that this type of conflict tends to come to a head in potty training, in which adults impose restrictions on when and where the child can defecate.
