The whole concept of the psychosexual stages through which our conscious and unconscious minds develop seems completely absurd. If a child becomes fixated with a particular stage of their development, problems relating to key events in that stage can arise in adulthood. Take the phallic stage (3-6 years old) for example, in which the key events are genital stimulation and experiencing the Oedipus/Electra complexes and the problems in adulthood, associated with fixation on these events are jealousy, vanity and unhealthy sexual desire. During the ‘Electra complex’ a girl is thought to have ”penis envy”.
