14-September-2008 12:50:31 - Electra complex The Electra complex colloquially Daddy issues or the Bernfeld factor is a concept found in psychoanalytic theory regarding female psycho-sexual development. The idea is based largely on the work of Sigmund Freud, who uses the Oedipal complex as a point of reference for its elaboration. The term, however, was introduced by Carl Jung in 1913.12 Freud himself explicitly rejected Jung's term, because it seeks to emphasize the analogy between the attitude of the two sexes3, and continued to use the feminine Oedipus attitude in his own writings. Freud's research on female psychology, sexuality in particular, was limited by social conventions of gender and class. Women of the period were considered the 'second sex' and many of his female patients were labeled degenerates. 4 The feminine Oedipus attitude was posited by Freud as a theoretical counterpart to the Oedipus complex. Carl Jung proposed the name Electra complex for Freud's concept, deriving the name from the Greek myth of Electra, who wanted her brother to avenge the death of the siblings' father Agamemnon, by killing their mother, Clytemnestra. According to Freud, a girl, like a boy, is originally attached to the mother figure. However, during the phallic stage, when she discovers that she lacks a penis, she becomes libidinally attached to the father figure, and imagines that she will become pregnant by him, all the while becoming more hostile toward her mother. Freud attributes the character of this developmental stage in girls to the idea of penis envy, where a girl is envious of the male penis. According to the theory, this penis envy leads to resentment towards the mother figure, who is believed to have caused the girl's castration. The hostility towards the mother is then later revoked for fear of losing the mother's love, and the mother becomes internalized, much the same as the Oedipus Complex. Daddy Issues in American urban slang refers broadly to the long-term influence exerted by a woman's father-daughter relationship in childhood. The phrase encapsulates the belief that turbulence, abuse, or negligence in the relationship with one's father results in troubled and insecure relationships with all men in adulthood. Women who are sex workers are often stereotyped as having daddy issues. Sylvia Plath, introducing the poem for a BBC radio reading shortly before her suicide, famously described her poem Daddy 1981: 222ff as about a girl with an electra complex. Her father died while she thought he was God.

Popular culture references In the popular television crime drama CSI: Las Vegas, the episode Got Murder? features a mother who abandons her husband and children and turns up dead. The daughter has an Electra complex involving her father and killed her own mother when she caught the mother sleeping with her father. The Electra complex is also mentioned in the movie Mona Lisa Smile. Marvel Comics character Electra comics is named after the Electra complex.
