What is the psychosexual stages based in McGee and Giddens?

It seems like you're asking about the psychosexual stages of development, but you've mentioned "McGee and Giddens." There's no widely recognized theory of psychosexual development associated with these names.

The most famous and widely accepted theory of psychosexual development is Freud's theory of psychosexual stages.

Here's a breakdown of Freud's stages:

* Oral Stage (birth to 18 months): Focus on the mouth for pleasure (sucking, biting, chewing). Fixation at this stage may lead to oral habits like smoking or overeating.

* Anal Stage (18 months to 3 years): Focus on bowel and bladder control. Fixation can lead to anal retentive (neat, organized) or anal expulsive (messy, rebellious) traits.

* Phallic Stage (3 to 6 years): Focus on the genitals and the Oedipus or Electra complex (desire for the opposite-sex parent and jealousy of the same-sex parent). Fixation can lead to sexual problems or difficulty with intimacy.

* Latency Stage (6 to puberty): Sexual feelings are repressed, and focus shifts to social and intellectual development.

* Genital Stage (puberty onward): Reemergence of sexual interest, directed towards mature relationships.

Please note: Freud's theory is controversial and is not universally accepted by all psychologists.
