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.
