The origins of neuroses in a child

To understand the dynamics of the three elements, Freud refers to the origins of our neuroses in childhood in distinct phases.

  • The oral phase: Dealing with the feelings around ingestion and eating. We might pick up on all kinds of neuroses, such as taking pleasure in refusing food, or overeating.
  • The anal phase: Testing the limits of authority.
  • The phallic phase ends around age 6. Freud insists that children have sexual feelings and direct them towards their parents. He described the Oedipus complex, where children are predisposed towards "being in love with one parent and hating the other."
