A young adult has never lived away from his parents and feels unable to make decisions on his own. According to Freud's theory of development, this person would be fixated at which stage of development?
 
  1. Phallic
  2. Latency
  3. Genital
  4. Anal

Question 2

A parent questions the nurse about her 5-year-old who has begun to masturbate and question the parents about sexual differences among the child's peer mates. The nurse, familiar with Freud's stages of development, responds by saying:
 
  1. All children are curious, but make sure the child knows that this behavior might be offensive to others.
  2. You should probably consult a child psychologist if you're this concerned.
  3. Let's make sure to ask your physician at the next appointment.
  4. This behavior is a normal part of your child's development.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The phallic stage is from 4 to 6 years of age and fixation would be related to the individual's genitial organs and the pleasure sensations they create.
Rationale 2: The latency stage is 6 years to puberty. Energy is directed to physical and intellectual activities. Sexual impulses tend to be repressed.
Rationale 3: Freud's genital stage is characterized by energy that is directed toward full sexual maturity and function and development of skills needed to cope with the environment. It occurs during puberty and extends beyond. Implications of this stage include separation from parents, achievement of independence, and decision making. Fixation occurs at any stage and is the immobilization or the inability of the personality to proceed to the next stage because of anxiety.
Rationale 4: The anal stage is from 1-1/2 to 3 years. Anus and bladder are the sources of pleasure (sensual satisfaction, self-control).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response.
Rationale 2: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response. This response would lead the parents to believe their child's behavior is abnormal.
Rationale 3: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response. This response would lead the parents to believe their child's behavior is abnormal.
Rationale 4: In the phallic stage, as described by Freud, which occurs from age 4 to 6 years, the child's genitals are the center of pleasure. Masturbation offers pleasure, and questions about sexual topics with parents is normal. Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response.
