    Assessment Description
    What do you believe to be optimal stimulation and optimal frustration during Freudian psychosexual stages? Support your view.
    Classmate Responds Below:
    Antoinette Martinez Response:
    Hello class,
    Freud’s theory of phases of psycho-sexual has expanded over time, and transitions from phase to other proceeds through continued levels of functioning (Cimino, 2024). The birth of a child is the initial stage where the child’s most important activity is nursing from the mother’s breast and the child is acquainted with pleasure (Cimino, 2024).
    The anal phase feces retention can be implemented as a masturbatory stimulus which can relate to the individual who cares for the child (Cimino, 2024).
    The following phase which the urination and the sensations of washing the child, Freud states these actions ends the stimulus and arouses pleasure which describes activity of infantile masturbation (Cimino, 2024). Perverse inclination demonstrates the normal evolutionary stage of the child (Cimino, 2024). When a child is older, they have a sense of shame when exposing their bodies which can lead into their adult lives (Ellman, 2018). Freud’s theory of the phases can pave the way to better understand behaviors: one is attached to an object, then there is detachment, then separation or loss of parts of oneself until the individual recognizes the
    ‘outside or different of oneself’ (Cimino, 2024).

    Sarah Clark Response:
    During Freudian psychosexual stages, Freud suggests the goal is to reach optimal stimulation and optimal frustration in each stage to develop into a healthy adult. Freud suggests there are needs to be met or conflicts to resolve in each psychosexual stage that involve stimulation and frustrations (Sauerteig,
    2012). Optimal stimulation is when the child’s needs specific to the phase are met and the right amount of gratification occurs (Ellman,
    2018). There can be an over or
    understimulation during these phases with overstimulation leading toward fixations into adulthood along with creating issues in furthering development (Ellman, 2018).
    Understimulation can also occur in a stage affecting optimal frustrations. In Freud’s optimal frustrations, the child learns to handle and endure frustrations with the help of the parents, mostly mother, along with turning away from once essential tendencies (Ellman,
    2018). Like stimulation, under and over-frustration can occur that can cause anxieties to develop (Ellman, 2018). If optimal stimulation and frustration do not occur in each stage there will be correlating effects that will continue and show within the adult’s personality and behavior until these needs are met and development can be fulfilled (Sauerteig, 2012). Optimal stimulation and optimal frustration can occur in each stage when the right amount of gratification and frustration are provided to develop the necessary need to resolve the conflict for that stage. When more or less is provided like during over-attentiveness or neglect the child becomes enabled and overstimulation and
    inder-frictratinn or underctimnlatinn and under-frustration or understimulation and overfrustration creating an out of balance and prohibiting proper development in becoming a healthy adult.
