Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Oedipus and Electra complexes are part of Sigmund Freud's psychosexual stages theory and both have their roots in the phallic stage, which occurs between the ages of 3 and 6 years.

These complexes are resolved through identifying with the same-sex parent and developing a mature sexual identity.
