- RECEPTIVE - often optimistic, admiring of others and gullible AGGRESSIVE - sarcastic, verbally hostile
- ANAL (1 to 3 years) pleasure gained from expelling and playing with faeces. During toilet training pleasure gained from holding on to and controlling bowel movements
- EXPULSIVE - messy, reckless, disorganised. RETENTIVE - obstinate, careful, precise
- PHALLIC (3 to 5/6 years) the libido becomes focussed on curiosity and pleasure involving opposite sex genitalia
- If stuck in this developmental stage they may have a personality of self assured, vain, proud and unable to love others
