List out the problem that may arise due oral fixation beyond oral stage.in 5 00 words

Answer 1

The oral stage of personality development begins at birth and lasts up until around 18 months of age. If you have ever been around babies, you know that their mouth is the focus of a lot of attention. From eating, to fingers, to toys, babies are seemingly in almost constant contact with their mouths. Freud's observations led him to believe that this is because the baby is experiencing a high level of pleasure from engaging in activities centered on the mouth. Since it feels good to the baby to put things in her mouth, she does it as often as possible. Not only does it feel good, but Freud believed that engaging in activities centered on the mouth is a source of stress relief and comfort for the baby as well.

You might be thinking to yourself that there are several biological reasons for babies engaging in activities centered around their mouths, and you would be correct. But Freud believed that these activities went beyond just biology. He believed that the psychosexual stages had a great impact on how our personality develops, which in turn impacts who we become as adults and how we choose to think and behave.
