Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on freud’s theory of psychosexual development Paper must be at least 2500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! Freud put forward his theory about child development as a series of “psychosexual stages”. The satisfaction of libidinal desire is involved in each stage which later serves a great role in adult personality. If a stage is not successfully completed by a child, it would later influence his/her behavior and adult personality.

To understand Freud’s theory of psychosexual development we first need to know about psychosexual development. According to Sigmund Freud, what a person experiences early in his life as a child has a great influence on the development of his/her personality. According to Freud’s Psychoanalytic personality theory, the most basic element of personality that is present at the time of birth is “id” which exists unconsciously. The id works on the pleasure principle which demands the fulfillment of needs and satisfaction of desires. Hence it generates unconscious psychic energy within a person in the initial stages of life which not only endeavors to satisfy all his needs but also serves as a necessary force to develop his personality.

To better understand the concept of id let’s consider an example. Since the id works on the pleasure principle, which means that all the inner desires and needs should be given foremost priority and they should be satisfied as soon as possible, when we are hungry we are more likely to divert attention towards refrigerator or food, and then we eat to satisfy our need. Similarly to quench our thirst we drink water. But not all of our needs can be satisfied instantly. There are needs whose satisfaction needs to be delayed until a particular time or until the things that satisfy those needs are within our reach. So unfulfilled needs to create tension within an individual, which drives him to take action in order to satisfy those needs. To project is not bad. in fact “it is a psychological achievement”2. The id principle also takes into account the “primary process” to temporarily relieve an individual from the tension.&nbsp.
