Which personality type does Myra display according to Freudian theory? Provide evidence for your answer. What caused it?

What will be an ideal response?


Myra is fixated at Freud’s anal stage and has an anal retentive personality which causes her unconscious need to clean. She displays the typical over-concern for orderliness and neatness, as well as the thriftiness, of this personality type. This is most likely due to overly strict potty training.
