The Oedipus complex (n.) exactly matches, in Freud's incest theory, the hysterical attitude that makes the patient neurotic — as unconvincing as the ostensibly sexual traumata of hysterics.
The Oedipus complex (n.) is a purely male affair — and incest, touching the religious instinct, expresses that instinct far more than it causes it.
The Oedipus complex (n.) is the false aetiology that arises when the archetypes of Father and Great Mother are projected on the human parents — ossified, in Freud, into a system.
The Oedipus complex (n.) is a symptom, not a prime cause: calling a child's regression incestuous longing is a figurative way of speaking, as primitives call any strong attachment a marriage.
The Oedipus complex (n.) is, for Jung, just a formula for a child's demands for love directed to mother and father and the conflict these, like every selfish desire, provoke; Oedipus magnifies an infantile conflict to adult size.
The Oedipus complex (n.) is the incest complex of childhood, found to be a normal component of every infantile psyche and inactive in itself; it becomes pathogenic only when activated to the point of conflict.
The Oedipus complex (n.) was Freud's monument to the discovery of an archetype; but if it is a universal pattern it cannot be the only one, Jung argued, so there must be a "normal" unconscious beyond repression.
