What is another word for oedipal complex?
Pronunciation: [ˈiːdɪpə͡l kˈɒmplɛks] (IPA) 
The term "Oedipal complex" was coined by Sigmund Freud to describe the unconscious desire of a child to possess their opposite-sex parent and eliminate the same-sex parent. However, due to its controversial nature and association with Freudian psychoanalysis, alternative terms have emerged over time. Some synonyms for the Oedipal complex include the Electra complex and the Jocasta complex, both of which refer to similar concepts in female and male psychosexual development, respectively. Other terms that have been proposed include the incestuous complex, the parental fixation, and the primal horde complex. These alternatives attempt to provide a more modern and gender-neutral perspective on the concept of childhood sexuality and parental relationships.
