According to Freud, the child develops socially through a series of ‘psychosexual stages’ e.g. oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. The first three psychosexual stages are focused on more as they span the important first five years in which the id, ego and superego develop.

The Child's Brain by Giorgio de Chirico caught my eyes on the first instant time I laid eyes upon it. Frankly, and to be quite honest, I did not know of its existence, until this very moment, nor did I knew of its rather complex meaning. The Child's Brain dates back to 1914.

The first of the three is Behaviorism. In 1913 Watson launched the behavioral school of psychology, publishing an article, Psychology as the Behaviorist Views it.

Prometheus by Mary Shelley and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson both show Freud’s ideas of Id, Ego and Superego as well as of innate desire. Frankenstein: the Modern Prometheus shows Freud's stages of psychosexual development. Collectively both novels should be considered Freudian through these ideas.
