"In Neo-Freudian psychology, the Electra complex, as proposed by Carl Jung, is a girl's psychosexual
competition with her mother for possession of her father. In the course of her psychosexual development, the complex is the girl's phallic stage....
....It is in the phallic stage (ages 3–6), when children become aware of their bodies, the bodies of other children, and the bodies of their parents that they gratify physical curiosity by undressing and exploring each other and their genitals—the erogenous center—of the phallic stage; thereby learning the physical gender differences between male and female, "boy" and "girl". When
a girl's initial sexual attachment to her mother ends upon discovering that
she has no penis, she then
transfers her libidinal desire (sexual attachment) to her father and
increases sexual competition with her mother."
