Best Answer

According to Sigmund Freud, a famous psychotherapist, boys typically love their mother (and secretly hate their father) and girls typically love their father (and secretly hate their mother)

While Freud is criticized in his methods and conclusions, perhaps most boys do at least prefer their mothers, and most girls prefer their fathers.

Describe the Psychodynamic explanation of gender identity development?

The psychodynamic theory of gender development suggests that gender identity and role areacquired during the third stage of psychosexual development, the phallic stage. Before this, in theoral and anal stages, the child does not have a gender identity and its sexual drives are directedindiscriminately. As the child enters the phallic stage, the focus of its libido moves to the genitalsand the development of girls and boys diverges.Boys enter the Oedipus complex. They start to sexually desire their mothers. They realize thattheir father stands in the way of the satisfaction of their desire and this frustration of the id's desiresresults in aggressive feelings, which are directed towards the father. At the same time, the boyrealizes that his father is more powerful than he is and starts to fear that if the father finds out aboutthe boy's desire for his mother he will castrate him (castration anxiety). The boy deals with theconflict this causes by starting to identify with the father and wanting to be like him. This leads tohim internalizing his father, essentially, incorporating his father into his own psyche. This becomeshis superego and, in taking on his father as part of himself the boy takes on the male genderidentity. He deals with his desire for his mother by displacing it onto other women.Girls enter the Elektra complex. This starts with the realization that they have no penis. This leadsthem to believe that they have been castrated, something for which they blame their mother.Because she has no penis the girl sees herself as powerless, and wishes that she had one (penisenvy). She starts to desire her father, because he has one and becomes jealous and hostiletowards her mother, mirroring the Oedipus complex in boys. Eventually, she starts to identify withand to internalize her mother, developing a superego and a female gender identity. At this pointshe represses her desire for a penis and substitutes it for the desire for a baby.
