==Complex and Instinct==In 1934, Jung summarized his theory of complexes and emphasized thatpre-war [[work]], even outside of the effects of any individual constellation, complexes involve the active forces [[Lacan]] argues that determine the interests of everyone and thus serve as the basis for it is because [[human]] [[psychology]] is based on the symbol formation. This conception of complexes[[complex]]es, which he continued to develop afterwards, led him to emphasize their creative effects. From a therapeutic perspectiveare entirely [[cultural]] products, this is an important aspect of his psychology and his clinical work. From it he developed the idea of promoting creative development through the integration of complexes. This idea plays a large role in many of the techniques developed by the Jungian school. Finallyrather than on [[natural]] [[instinct]]s, it is from this insight that Jung came [[human]] [[behaviour]] cannot be explained by reference to see archetypes at the heart of complexes[[biological]] givens.
===Intrusion Complex===
After the [[weaning]] [[complex]] comes the [[intrusion complex]] (''[[complexe de l'intrusion]]''), which represents the [[experience]] that the [[child]] has when he realizes that he has siblings. The [[child]] must then cope with the fact that he is no longer the exclusive [[object]] of his [[parents]]' attention.
===Oedipus Complex===
The [[third]] and final [[family complex]] is the [[Oedipus Complex]]. After their [[appearance]] in the 1938 paper, the [[terms]] "[[weaning complex]]" and "[[intrusion complex]]" [[disappear]] almost completely from [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]]. However, the [[Oedipus complex]] remains a fundamental reference point throughout, and this is complemented by a growing interest, from 1956 on, in the [[castration complex]].
==newSee Also=={{See}}The term 'complex' (''complexe'') occupies an important place in Lacan's work before 1950, where it is closely related to the * [[imageBiology]]. Whereas the imago designates an imaginary stereotype relating to one person, the * [[Castration complex is a whole constellation of interacting imagos; it is the internalisation of the subject's earliest social structures (i.e. the relationships between the various actors in his family nvironment). ]]* [[Culture]]A complex involves multiple identifications with all the interacting imagos, and thus provides a script according to which the subject is led 'to play out, as the sole actor, the drama of conflicts' between the members of his family.<ref>Ec, 90</ref>||* [[Development]] In his pre-war work, Lacan argues that it is because human psychology is based on the complexes, which are entirely cultural products, rather than on natural * [[instinctImago]]s, that human behaviour cannot be explained by reference to biological givens. Nevertheless, while drawing this explicit contrast between complexes and instincts, Lacan also recognises that complexes may be compared to instincts in that they make up for the instinctual inadequacy (insuffisance vitale) of the human infant, and argues that the complexes are propped on biological functions such as weaning.<ref>Lacan, 1938: 32-3</ref> In 1938 Lacan identifies three 'family complexes', each of which is the trace of a 'psychical crisis' which accompanies a 'life crisis'. The first of these complexes is the weaning * [[Intrusion complex (complexe du sevrage). ]]||Taking up the idea of a 'trauma of weaning', first developed by RenÈ Laforgue in the 1920s, Lacan argues that no matter how late weaning occurs, it is always perceived by the infant as coming too early.* [[Instinct]]* [[Nature]] Whether traumatic or not, weaning leaves in the human psyche a permanent trace of the biological relation which it interrupts. This life crisis is in effect accompanied by a psychical crisis, without doubt the first whose solution has a dialectical structure. (Lacan, 1938: 27) After the weaning * [[Oedipus complex comes the intrusion complex (complexe de l'intrusion), which represents the experience that the child has when he realises that he has siblings. ]]||The child must then cope with the fact that he is no longer the exclusive object of his parents' attention. The third and final family complex is the * [[Oedipus ComplexStructure]]. After their appearance in the 1938 paper, the terms 'weaning complex' and 'intrusion complex' disappear almost completely from Lacan's work (there is a brief reference to them in 1950, but little else; Ec, 141). * [[Subject]]However, the Oedipus complex remains a fundamental reference point throughout, and this is complemented by a growing interest, from 1956 on, in the * [[Castration ComplexWeaning|Weaning complex]]. From a term borrowed by the German psychologist Zeihen and used by Eugen Breuer, then Jung and Freud: a cluster of emotionally charged associations, usually unconscious and gathered around an archetypal center (and so a blend of environment and disposition). Repressed emotional themes. Complexes were first noticed by Aristotle, who in his Psyche called them part-souls, and behave like little personalities (and have unconscious fantasy systems), often even after partially incorporated into awareness. A more powerful complex will either blend with one less powerful or replace it, and its constellating power corresponds to its energy value. Complexes are the contents of the personal unconscious, whereas archetypes, their foundations, are those of the collective unconscious. Complexes, found in healthy as well as troubled people, are always either the cause or the effect of a conflict. The complex arises from the clash between the need to adapt and constitutional inability to meet the challenge. They originate in childhood, and their first form is the parental complex.{{Also}}
