Question:

What does the Oeipus complex suggest?

Author: Sultani vi Brittania



Answer:

Boys suffer from castration anxiety and fear and despise their father for standing in the way of the boy realising their sexual desires felt towards the mother. However, as the child comes to terms with the fact that they will be unable to express their feelings, they instead identify with their father and internalise his values, through the process of internalisation.
