Explanation:

Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic psychosexual stages include the phallic stage (ages 3-6), where children develop unconscious sexual attraction to the opposite-sex parent (Oedipus complex for boys, Electra complex for girls). The latency stage involves suppressed sexual urges, the oral stage centers on oral sensory needs, and the genital stage focuses on mature romantic relationships.
