A. He did not pay enough attention to the role of early childhood experiences.

C. He was unduly preoccupied with sexuality.

D. He did not give sufficient attention to sociocultural factors.

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud was well known for his theory of Psychoanalysis. He was a neurologist as well.

He had a theory on Psychosexual development in children which states that parents play a very important role at the very early stage of a child's life by monitoring and regulating desires of aggression and sex present in them.

He believed the development of a child occurs in 5 Psychosexual phases which are the

a. Phallic phase

b. Latency phase

c. Genital phase

d. Rectal phase

e. Oral phase

Modern Critics of today have a problem with Sigmund Freud theory because Sigmund Freud focused more on the sexuality or sexual development of the child and he neglected childhood experiences as well as the influence of social cultural factors.
