{{Top}}complexe d'Oedipe{{Bottom}}
=====Background=====
The "[[Oedipus complex]]" is first introduced by [[Freud]] in 1901 and then comes to acquire central importance in [[psychoanalysis|psychoanalytic theory]] thereafter.
The term does not appear in [[Freud]]'s [[{{FB}}|writings]] until 1910.
The Oedipus complex acquires central importance in psychoanalytic theory.
According to [[Freud]], [[Sophocles]]' play, ''[[Oedipus Rex]]'' illustrates a formative stage in each individual's psychosexual development.
The "[[Oedipus complex]]" was posited by [[Sigmund Freud]] as the central organizing principle of psychosexual development.
In the "positive" form of the [[Oedipus complex]], the [[desire]]d parent is the parent of the opposite sex to the [[subject]], and the parent of the same sex is the rival.
[[Freud]] argued that all psychopathological [[structure]]s could be traced to a malfunction in the [[Oedipus complex]], which was thus dubbed "the nuclear complex of the neuroses".
