Is it possible for a stepdaughter to have an Oedipus complex over her stepfather?
No, it isn't possible in Freudian psychology for a stepdaughter to have an Oedipus complex over her stepfather. The Oedipus complex is applied to the relationship of a son to his mother. The equivalent for a daughter to her father is the Electra complex.The two complexes get their names from stories in ancient Greek mythology. The Oedipus complex refers to Theban King Oedipus' albeit unknowing, abnormal relationship with his parents. He kills his father, Theban King Laius. He weds and beds his mother, Theban Queen Jocasta.The Electra complex refers to Argive Princess Electra of Mycenae. She thinks it's o.k. for her father, King Agamemnon, to bring back as his lover, the war prize Cassandra, from Troy. She doesn't think it's o.k. for her mother, Clytemnestra, to have cousin-in-law Aegisthus as a lover. Electra and her brother Orestes end up planning the murder of Clytemnestra for having murdered Agamemnon.So the Oedipus complex warns of an abnormal attachment between son and mother. The Electra complex warns of an abnormal attachment between daughter and father.

Who theorized the Oedipus complex?
Sigmund Freud [May 6, 1856-September 23, 1939] theorized the Oedipus complex. By that complex, he highlighted the mother-son interaction that may go from healthy to unhealthy. Freud also theorized the similar, Electra complex. By that complex, he highlighted the father-daughter interaction that may go from healthy to unhealthy.The names for both complexes are based upon legendary names in classical Greek mythology. Albeit unknowingly, Theban King Oedipus is a father killer. Knowingly, Argive Princess Electra is a mother killer.Albeit unknowingly, Oedipus fixates on a woman who's old enough to be his mother and who in fact turns out to be his mother. Knowingly, Electra loves her father and hates her mother. So she plots with her brother to kill their mother for having killed their father. It's fine with Electra that her father had taken a lover. It isn't fine with her that her mother did likewise.
