Whoops! That is not public topic for me!Masterj said:
No I was referring to the old freudian terms for development.
like anal retentive.
In common usage, the phrases "anally retentive," "anal-retentive" or "anal" were used to describe a certain style of behavior,
Today, however, the term is often used in reference to anybody seen as overly worried about small details and unable to adopt a philosophical attitude toward mistakes
then I was referring to Freud's Oral phase:
Oral fixations are considered to contribute to over-eating, being overly talkative, smoking addictions and alcoholism (known as "oral dependent" qualities). Other symptoms include a sarcastic or "biting" personality (known as "oral sadistic" qualities).
Critics of Freud's theories doubt that such a thing as "oral fixation" can explain adult behaviors, and that subscribing to this simplistic explanation can prevent the exploration of other possible causes that may occur. Even psychoanalytically oriented practitioners have broadened their understandings of fixations beyond simple stage theory.
These explanations are from www.wikipedia.com
