The major event that occurs during the phallic stage, according to Freud's psychosexual development theory, is the development of the Oedipus complex. During this stage (ages 3-6), children experience unconscious sexual desires for the opposite-sex parent, and view the same-sex parent as competition. This conflict is resolved through identification with the same-sex parent and the development of a gender identity.
