The Electra complex, a concept proposed by Carl Jung, describes the unconscious desire of a young girl to replace her mother in the father's affection.
The Electra complex is often considered the female counterpart of the Oedipus complex.
The resolution of the Electra complex involves the young girl identifying with her mother and developing a healthy relationship with her father.
If the Electra complex is not resolved, it can lead to difficulties in forming close relationships with men in later life.
