Describe the Oedipus complex.
What will be an ideal response?
The Oedipus complex occurs during Freud’s phallic phase of development (approximately between the ages of 5 and 7) and represents the peak of infantile sexuality and follows the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex, in which the son kills his father and marries his mother. This, Freud believed, is the typical oedipal wish and fantasy, and the developmental task is how to navigate the wish and how to resolve the complex. The boy’s ability to resolve this complex determines his future relations to women.
