Elektra complex- but please this could be an example of alpha/beta bias in freud's work. Is this complex real?


Actually, yes. Freud's version for the female Oedipus Complex is known as the Electra Complex. This is from ages 3-6 when girls have a sort of "penis envy" in which they develop a certain want for their fathers. This where a female would become a "Daddy's Girl" or want to grow up and marry someone just like dad. Involves a small crush on the fatherly figure but soon goes away as a child gets older.

Is the child's unconscious esxual desire for the opposite-sex parent the Oedipus complex theory of freud's?

Not exactly. The Oedipus Complex applies only to boys (from the age of three to five. Otherwise, the complex doesn't apply), so it's when boys sexually desire their mothers and view their fathers as rivals for their mother's love. When females sexually desire their fathers, it's called the Electra Crisis.

The Oedipus complex comes from the ancient Greek play Oedipus. Dr. Sigmund Freud named this condition after one of the key meanings in the play. In Oedipus, the main character (oedipus himself) kills his father and marries his mother. The meaning of the Oedipus complex is a boy's natural sexual feelings for his own mother. This is shown at birth and in normal human behavior, is broken up after years of aging. If not, there's a problem-- Oedipus Complex.
