| Extra Info | : | This seminar examines the shift from Freud’s patriarchal model of psychoanalysis, where the Oedipus complex is traced to a mythical prehistoric murder of the father, to Melanie Klein’s radical turn toward the mother infant relationship. By abandoning Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex in favour of Aeschylus’ Oresteia, Klein proposes an alternative developmental model, sometimes described as an “Orestes complex,” which reframes human psychology as fundamentally shaped by maternal rather than paternal forces. |
