Psychosexual Stages of Development - NCE & CPCE Study Guide

In the category of Human Growth and Development on the National Counselor Examination (NCE), the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE), or another counseling exam, you’ll find Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development.
I can basically guarantee that you’ll come across the Psychosexual Stages of Development at some point in a psychology course. More likely, in many of the classes and on many exams you take. This video explores the stages in more depth and discusses the theory’s relevance today.
