Abstract

Since Freud wrote 'Three Essays on the Theory ofSexuality' one hundred years ago, sexuality of children has become visible in our culture. But still it may be difficult for grown-up persons to find an adequate attitude to sexual behaviour in children and adolescents. There are important differences between sexuality in children, in adolescents and in adults - each age has its own behaviour pattern - but concomitantly all three are intimately connected. The two prominent periods in sexual development, early childhood and puberty, are outlined partly from a classical Freudian and partly from an object relation theory point of view. Deviations from norman sexual development are commented on. Finally the concept of sexual maturity and sexual offending are briefly discussed.
