The essay is about the Oedipus complex ?which is the presence of sexual desire strong enough to arouse so much jealousy and fear that they can be dissolved only by repression.? Horney begins by stating what it is that Freud means by Oedipus complex and expands on his research by refuting and confirming some of his theories.
