Annalise appears to be fixated at the _____ stage.

Answer 1

Answer:

second stage                                                                                  

Explanation:

In psychology, the term is defined as one of the different stages in the psychosexual theory which includes five distinct stages. It was proposed by Sigmund Freud. It occurs at the age of one year and lasts through two years of age in a child's life. In this stage, a child is engaged in activities including toilet training and is focused on the bladder control and bowel movement.

According to Freud, fixation occurs due to the inappropriate response by parents towards the child and leads the child to be wasteful, messy, and he or she can develop a destructive personality. A child may develop a retentive personality that causes the child to be rigid, stringent, obsessive, and orderly.
