Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud's psychosexual stages of development, the oral stage occurs from birth to 18 months and is focused on satisfying oral needs through activities such as breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Narcissism is believed to arise from a fixation or regression to this stage, where the individual seeks constant gratification and attention, much like an infant seeking nourishment.
