According to Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the oral stage occurs from birth to 18 months, during which the child's primary focus of pleasure is on the mouth. A fixation at this stage can result in behaviors such as excessive talking or smoking as oral stimulation becomes the source of pleasure. Therefore, Joe's chattiness could be seen as a result of fixation at the oral stage.
