The "anal phase" is just that. It has nothing to do with sadism and the original source has it wrong or is reffering to something else - probably related to a connected theorie or contemplation.Preacher 18:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are some spelling and grammer errors in this article. It would also be cool if where it says that some of this has been disproven to link to the theories that have disproven it.Sparticuz 01:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, but I would really like to see a reference section. Even just Freud's relevant work.--Bookandcoffee 18:50, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The bit about "Some of these theories have been disproved" -- it seems a bit tacky. Anyone averse to its removal?Bvanderveen 22:30, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmm, I don't believe it should be taken down. Part of Wikipedia is disclosure... were it not for that passage, many people would come here and think it to be true. Science is not a world of absolute answers, and it's more than likely helpful to know what didn't work or wasn't right. Vegasrebel29 11:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be useful to include details of the areas of the psyche associated with each stage in the table in order to relate it further to Freuds pd explanation? B Walker 15:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

This article is about Freudian PD, anyway, unless it is extended to include other theorists the table, etc should be here. -- Paul foord 08:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up

This page needs a ton of work, especially considering the impact it has had on modern Psychology. While many modern psychologist do not share Freud's PD theories, most will admit to the impact it had. Anyways, I am gonna do a major overhaul of this article in my sandbox with lots of references. Feel free to edit it there if you want or do it here and I'll incorporate any changes that have been made.--Iosef 04:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
