According to Freudian theory, the anal stage (ages 1-3) is when a child's pleasure centers on the anus and bowel and bladder elimination. A fixation at this stage can lead to an adult personality that is overly concerned with cleanliness, orderliness, and control. This description fits with Steve's behavior of being "compulsively neat and orderly."
