The '''Oedipus [[complex (psychology)|complex]]''' or '''conflict''' is a concept developed by [[Sigmund Freud]] to explain the origin of certain [[neurosis|neuroses]] in childhood. It is defined as a male child's unconscious desire for the exclusive love of his mother. This desire includes jealousy towards the father and the unconscious wish for that parent's death. Later researchers used the term [[Electra complex]] for the same phenomenon in girls. (In Greek myth, [[Electra]], daughter of [[Agamemnon]], helped plan the murder of her mother.) Freud and his ideas were a primary inspiration for [[Carl Jung]], who further described the concept and coined the term "complex".
