Freud believed that adult personality is the result of how an individual resolved conflicts between sources of sexual pleasure and the mandates of reality.Freud had a strong influence on Erik Erikson,but Erikson's theory differed from Freud's in that it focused on psychosocial stages rather than psychosexual stages.Freud's five stages of psychoanalytical development in sequential order include oral,anal,phallic,latency,and genital.The phallic stage precedes the genital stage.In theory,problems in adult life would be due to unresolved conflicts and failures.
