Anal stage


-n-l stage

according to psycho-n-lysis, the second social and s-xual stage of an infant’s development (after the oral stage), in which the infant learns to control bowel movements. freudian psychology maintains that children gain pleasure from both p-ssing and withholding their feces. psycho-n-lysts believe that development of an -n-l personality is -ssociated with frustration over toilet training. (see also genital stage and pleasure principle.)
