#==Freudian Dictionary== <blockquote>The complete organization [of sexuality] is not attained until puberty, in a fourth, or genital, phase. A state of affairs is then established in which (1) many earlier libidinal cathexes are retained, (2) others are included in the sexual function as preparatory or auxiliary acts, their satisfaction producing what is known as fore-pleasure, and (3) other tendencies are excluded from the organization, and are either entirely suppressed (repressed) or are employed in the ego in some other way, forming character-traits or undergoing sublimation with a displacement of their aims.<ref>{{OoPA}} Ch. 3</ref></blockquote> <blockquote>Puberty forms a definite epoch in the development of the compulsion neurosis. The genital organization, interrupted in childhood, is now resumed with great vigor.<ref>{{OoPA}} Ch. 5</ref></blockquote> {{Freudian Dictionary}}  redirect [[genital stage]]
