The Effacing of the Oedipus Complex

Pages 541-547 | Published online: 20 Nov 2010
 

Notes

1One of the advantages of Loewald's vision of the Oedipus is that it helps to solve a problem of female development that Freud's phallocentric account never satisfactorily resolves. Certainly, my own analytic experience with female patients is consistent with the view that an often bitter and protracted struggle to emerge from maternal enmeshment goes hand in hand with an emancipatory move towards fulfillment of derivative Oedipal desire.
