Oedipus complex

The Oedipus complex is an unconscious psychological state in which a person seeks to get rid of a close and important person in his life (usually a parent) in order to “protect” a more significant partner or partner in order to create a more stable relationship. This can happen both in relationships with parents and between family members and friends.

The Oedipus complex is a psychological phenomenon that is characterized by the formation in a child of unconscious hostility towards a parent who is an object of strong attachment for him. Usually this term is used to denote a boy's aggressive attitude towards his father and the desire to encroach on his place in the relationship with his mother. However, there are also cases where a woman may experience an Oedipal complex towards her son.

The history of the Oedipus complex is associated with the ancient Greek tragedy of King Oedipus, in which he made a series of fatal mistakes and killed his father and fell in love with his mother, who then committed suicide. As a result of this event, Oedipus had to bear the burden of guilt for his actions, and hatred of his father complex became an inseparable part of him.

The Oedipus complex is an object of interest to psychoanalysts, who argue that it is formed in people under the influence of certain social, cultural and biological factors. According to psychoanalytic theory, oedipal aggression can be seen as a powerful defense mechanism that is released during childhood to protect the child from the loss of a loved object. In addition, the Oedipus complex is not the only reason for the formation of aggressive reactions in children.

In modern society, relationships with parents are critical to personal development and success at all stages of life. However, some people may experience an overwhelming urge to destroy other people's relationships, no matter who they are. This type of violence is known as "Hulk Syndrome". In daily work
