According to Freud, anal stage is a stage from age 12 to 18 months to 3 years of age in which a child’s pleasure is centered on the anus.
According to Freud this is the second Stage in an infant's life, when he is mainly concerned with the pleasure he receives from the anus and its function.Anxiety caused by toilet training may overlay the infant's pleasure.As with all of Freud's stages,excessivefrustration or satisfaction at the anal stage may leave a person fixated on it, with the eventual result that, as an adult, he may exhibit an 'anal ' character typified by obstinacy, tidiness and miserliness.
