Definition(s)

  • The term Oedipus conflict, or Oedipus complex, refers to a theory developed by Sigmund Freud (based on an ancient Greek myth) as a way of explaining child development; that is, Freud wanted to understand the way, as a boy, he had felt toward his parents. Freud first suggested the existence of what he would later call the Oedipus complex in his seminal The Interpretation of Dreams (1900). [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Oedipal Conflict]
