The Oedipal conflict is a psychoanalytic theory introduced by Sigmund Freud that suggests a child's sexual desires are directed towards their opposite-sex parent and the child sees their same-sex parent as a rival for the opposite-sex parent's affection. This conflict is said to occur during the phallic stage of development (ages 3-6), according to Freud's theory of psychosexual development.
