Topic: Anal retentiveness


  
 Anal retentive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the anal stage the child's development will be able to move on to the "phallic stage" when the child's focus of attention will shift to the genital region.
Then the child typically moves on to the "anal stage" which is characterised by the child deriving pleasure from bowel movements.
In this original sense, the term means simply that a person has retained traits from the anal stage of psychosexual development.

 Anal retentives hold on to neat childhood habits
Anal retentiveness is a Freudian psychoanalytic concept, said Juris Draguns, professor of psychology.
Football Coach Joe Paterno said being anal retentive is a "question of your own personality." People accomplish things differently, some are "free spirits" and some must be organized, he said.
These are the behaviors Freudians claim originate during the toilet-training or anal period, Draguns said, adding that this explanation is not widely accepted.

 Anal stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The anal stage in psychology is the term used by Sigmund Freud to describe the development during the second year of life, in which a child's pleasure and conflict centers are in the anal area.
"This change provides further outlets for libidinal gratification (anal erotism) and for the emerging aggressive drive (anal sadism).
This stage is exemplified by a toddler's pleasure in controlling his or her bowels.

 Chap 2 E1
For example, a child who does not resolve the conflicts of the anal stage (which is supposed to extend from about age 2-4 years) could become fixated and become either anal-retentive or anal-expulsive.
In his theory, people are supposed to go through 5 stages of psychosexual development: anal, oral, phallic, latent, and genital.
If a person does not resolve the conflicts associated with a particular stage, he/she may become fixated at that stage, and this fixation can lead to later personality problems.

 Re: "anal retentiveness"
ANAL - "adj (1930) of the second stage of Freud's suggested process of libidinal development (lasting from about the age of eighteen months to three years), dominated by toilet training; hence, displaying character traits thought to result from fixation at this age, such as obsessive orderliness, parsimony; or obstinacy."
: From the Encyclopedia Britannica: Sigmund Freud believed that in a child's psycho-sexual development there is an anal stage (during the second and third years of life) in which the child's main concerns are with defecation.
His responses to his parents' demands for bowel control may have far-reaching consequences.

 tempest in a teacup - don't ask, i'll tell // anal-retentiveness
The expression anal retentive derives from psychoanalytic theory.
The interruption of any of these stages results in a fixation, which would have various consequences on an adult.
A person interrupted at the late stage of the anal development is an anal retentive, and this is thought to result in adult personality or behavioral traits that include orderliness, rigidity, obstinacy, obsession with rules, meticulousness, and ungenerousness.

 The Anal Inventive Storm the Web
Because the Web offered me unlimited space, hypertext gave me a matrix, the Usenet group alt.fan.spinal-tap gave me an audience, and some wire in the back of my brain provided a dose of what I like to refer to as anal inventiveness.

 Ren and Stimpy -
They play characters that have discernable personalities of their own, yet episodes do not directly correlate to one another, and thus the characters can be homosexual at times and heterosexual at others, if it serves the comedy.
Kricfalusi has stated that the characters are comedians much in the same way that the Three Stooges are.
In a later interview, however, Kricfalusi stated in no uncertain terms that they were homosexual, almost as if by default, because both Ren and Stimpy lack other mates due to anal retentiveness and stupidity, as it were.
