Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory is widely considered controversial. This is partly due to its historical context in early 20th-century Vienna, a time of significant sexual repression. A primary scientific criticism of the theory is that it is not empirically verifiable, as it was not designed to be subjected to experimental tests.
