what is the difference between fixation and regression..plz explain with an example..thanks

  #2

ill do one: regression is to a more infantile state. { a new child is born and the 4 year old suddenly starts wetting in his pants} {or the elderly man suddenly asks nurse to feed him although he is capable]

thanks but wat about fixation..smiling face

  #4

I remember of Freud stages in human development (the stage in which a certain orifice gives the maximum pleasure to the child, e.g. the first year -> the oral stage; second year -> anal stage and I dunno the others)

Fixation in one of theese stages may lead to a certain type of behavior lateron: (in the second year is the anal stage because children opose to the parent's desire for children to control their sfincters) so, fixation in the anal stage will make them anti-socials, ADHC; fixation in the first stage makes the future adult dependent on others, incapable of making decisions of his own.

I've spoken from past memories, so I may have said things that are not exactly true

The examples in FA are:

Fixation - Men who watch sports (after all sports is supposedly a childhood game)
Regression - A child under stress so wets his bed or a patient crying when on dialysis
