Oedipal/Electra Complex (What are they? How are they resolved?)
stuck at a stage “personality type” can be fixated on more than one stage, too much or not enough satisfaction
fixations
too much, can trust, by getting so much attention, the find out that the world revolves around them (oral dependent personality=selfish child)
too little don’t trust, ignored, talk to much, don’t ask for someone else’s opinion, interrupt (oral aggressive)
personality type from fixation (oral)
Anal retentive personality- too strict, guilt, perfectionist OCD
