Freud’s Psychosexual Stages

ORAL STAGE
0-1 year
Freud stated that in this stage, the organ for pleasure is the mouth. I couldn’t say for
myself, so I asked the people around me what I was fond of doing when I was this
young. They told me that I liked to suck on the silicone nipple, and I would put things in
my mouth.
ANAL STAGE
1-3 years
Freud, the anus is the primary erogenous zone and pleasure is derived from controlling
bladder and bowel movement I was told that by this time I was already being taught how
to independently urinate and poop. We had a baby seat for the bowl which was placed
there every time my cousin and I would need to use the toilet. I was also being taught to
do other things that I could independently.
PHALLIC STAGE
3-6 years
In this stage the infant's libido (desire) centers upon his or her genitalia as the
erogenous zone. At this stage in my life, all I can remember is that there are thing taught
to me that I shouldn’t have learned at that young age. Also, as I can remember, I already
started to develop attraction for the opposite gender.
LATENCY STAGE
6-12 years
This stage covers my entire elementary period. I was already doing a lot of things
independently. When I was in my 4th grade, I learned to care for my own. I learned to
feed myself, bathe myself, study on my own, and a lot more things. Latency stage states
that children now learn to compare themselves to others. I think I also have experienced
this since I graduated as the class salutatorian thinking why I didn’t become first.
GENITAL STAGE
6 years and above
At this point in my life, I have already learned a lot of things. I also have become aware
about my surroundings and the feelings of others. I have always been shy but still
managed to make a lot of friends. I only have been with few people in my elementary
days, my classmates stay the same each year. But when I entered High school, I have
learned to become more social and independent as well.

PIAGET’S STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

SENSORIMOTOR
0-2 years
This stage is when I have learned to move and move the things around me. I also
learned how to use my senses to learn things around the environment. They always want
to play with me like peek a boo, stacking blacks and putting objects inside and outside
the container
PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
2-7 years
This stage is when I started to talk properly. I learned how to use words in context and
when not to say or when to say something. My understanding has been deeper and
widened. There are still a lot of things I don’t understand, and I have a lot of questions
in mind. I practically ask about everything.
CONCRETE OPERATIONAL
7-11 years
This is when I began to understand about the use of money. Also, I have learned
important things that may play an essential role in my life. If before, I can only read
time, in this stage I can also understand the importance of time. This was when I start
feeling shy when I come late in class.
FORAMAL OPERATINAL
11 and above
This stage is when we already know a lot of things. I think I already know how to judge
quite right in this stage. I understand complex ideas. This stage is when my parents have
imparted life lessons that I remember and keep. Also,

ERICKSON’S STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

TRUST vs MISTURST
0-18 mos
When I was this young my mother told me that I always cried. I cry often whenever
someone I don’t know holds me or carries me. I only stay calm when I am with people I
recognize and know.
AUTONOMY vs SHAME AND DOUBT
18 mos – 3 years
This stage is when I have cried a lot to get what I wanted. My mother told me that I cry a
lot when things don’t go my way. I cried when I wanted something, when I was hungry
and when I needed something.
INITIATIVE vs GUILT
3-5 years
I began school when I was 3 years old. When I was at this stage, there were minor things
I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to finish writing what the teacher instructed to write, I
wanted to color the coloring book completely. I have set minor goals maybe because I
was attending school at this stage,
INDUSTRY vs INFERIORITY
5-13 years
This was when I wanted to do the dishes, do the laundry. I wanted to do something that
would make me feel of purpose. I wanted to join different things. I was a dancer at
church and was so happy that I was part of something that I liked. I started finding
things that I could do to be of help.
IDENTITY vs CONFUSION
13-21 years
I’ve been in several relationships in the past, but I got my long-term relationship when I
was 14. This gave me the sense of being with someone and being with that someone for a
long period of time. There were times that I really felt worn out and tired of being with
the same person day after day but as I aged and matured, I learned that fidelity is
important.
