The Oedipus Complex, the Electra Complex, and the Resolution of supernatural, culturally conditioned Fear

In Greek mythology, we find the Oedipus complex, familiar to many modern people, whereby a boy becomes his mother's psychological partner and takes a stand against his father. As a counterpart to this, the Greek so-called Electra complex deals with a genuine father-daughter relationship entanglement. Like the Oedipus complex, the Electra complex has become a "normal" consequence of the traditional family structure and the resulting gender war within the class culture. The suspension of the mother's psychological influence, which is the subject of the Electra complex, corresponds to the psychological elimination of the father in the Oedipus complex through the one-sided partisanship of the daughter for the father and the son for the mother. These childish intentions lead to a deep mother-daughter or father-son relationship conflict.

Even today, many fathers in patriarchal cultures develop a special emotional bond with their daughters because they are unconditionally adored by them and thus tend to spoil their daughters excessively, even against their mothers' objections. If there is a "normal" traditional gender war within a family, then both the development of an Oedipus complex and an Electra complex lead to a relatively one-sided partisanship for one parent, which leads to hidden or even obvious hostility within the father-son relationship and the mother-daughter relationship. This means a serious and constant impairment for families in which an Oedipus complex and/or Electra complex develops. For the children affected, such a development is a biological catastrophe, as the symbiotic support of both the mother and the father is indispensable for the natural ideological and emotional maturation of a child. Many of the families affected therefore suffer a psychological "meltdown" sooner or later, as family relationships increasingly lose themselves in bottomless upheavals and irritations, causing all family members to fight increasingly for their psychological survival.

The interpersonal relationship problems that have become extremely explosive and, in some cases, seemingly hopeless in all social cultures today can only be adequately understood and resolved if, as has been the case since the turn of the millennium, no longer focus in a relatively one-sided manner on the narcissistic striving for power among men, but also take into account the narcissistic striving for power among women, which usually operates in a more subtle manner. In contrast to the obvious narcissistic male striving for absolutist material, political, and financial power in culture, the narcissistically acting woman strives for a subliminally remaining absolutist social, psychological, and moral interpretive authority in culture. To this day, this has led to an enormous influence of women on everyday reality and to enormous power for women within families.

Even in early class-based cultures, a subtle absolutist striving for power on the part of women became "normal" because it was necessary for women to survive within patriarchal class-based cultures. By developing a targeted indirect social, psychological, and moral influence on children, women were also able to secure a certain influence and thus relative power over the children's fathers. This influence of the mother on the father, which should not be underestimated, was first transferred to the social level in a progressive manner through the 1968 revolution of the 20th century. Through the implementation of a new matriarchal family jurisdiction in Western culture after the turn of the millennium, men were gradually pushed onto the defensive in terms of their influence within the family.

How and why I became an author of anthropology, cultural history, and psychology.

The main reason for this development was that I was born into a traumatized extended family of war refugees and, at the age of 20, developed allergic reactions to the relationship entanglements within my family. Therefore, I began to explore the question of why human behavior is sometimes unbearable at an early age.

After 40 years of intensive research, I found a satisfactory explanation, which enabled me to decisively change the inappropriate survival strategies I had developed in childhood.

Over the past 25 years, I have spent several months each winter independently studying the research findings of cultural history, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, psychology, and other sciences, and in doing so, I have identified many inconsistencies between the findings of scientific research and the political, economic, and cultural-historical representations in societies.
