The Electra complex is a psychoanalytic theory proposed by Carl Jung which describes a daughter's unconscious sexual desires toward her father and hostility towards her mother. The daughter may feel that her mother is in the way of her relationship with her father and may wish for her mother's death. The Oedipus complex is a similar theory proposed by Sigmund Freud, but it describes a son's unconscious sexual desires towards his mother and hostility towards his father. The terms anal-retentive and anal-expulsive personality refer to personality types in the Freudian theory of psychosexual development and are not related to this scenario.
