”The Father of FIXATION” daw ako sabi ni Mikko, Hahaha. Bakit kaya? At anong klaseng fixation? Oral? Anal or Phallic? hahaha.
FYI:
Oral Fixation: A psychological condition in which a person is unconsciously obsessed with the mouth and feels the need to always be sucking or chewing something. May lead to overweightness, nail-biting and other habits.
Anal Fixation: which may be caused by too much punishment during toilet training, has two possible outcomes.
1. The Anal retentive personality is stingy, with a compulsive seeking of order and tidiness. The person is generally stubborn and perfectionist.
2.The Anal expulsive personality is an opposite of the Anal retentive personality, and has a lack of self control, being generally messy and careless.
Phallic Fixation: At the age of 5 or 6, near the end of the phallic stage, boys experience the Oedipus Complex whilst girls experience the Electra conflict, which is a process through which they learn to identify with the same gender parent by acting as much like that parent as possible.
Boys suffer a castration anxiety, where the son believes his father knows about his desire for his mother and hence fears his father will castrate him. He thus represses his desire and defensively identifies with his father.
Girls suffer a penis envy, where the daughter is initially attached to her mother, but then a shift of attachment occurs when she realizes she lacks a penis. She desires her father whom she sees as a means to obtain a penis substitute (a child). She then represses her desire for her father and incorporates the values of her mother and accepts her inherent ‘inferiority’ in society.
This is Freud, remember. He later also recanted, noting that perhaps he had placed too much emphasis on sexual connotations.
