Complex of Jocasta

The Jocasta complex is a psychological concept where someone unconsciously seeks romantic or sexual relationships with their parent or parent figure, similar to the myth of Jocasta from Greek mythology. It often involves unresolved feelings of longing, attachment, or guilt rooted in family dynamics. This complex can influence a person’s behavior and relationships, and understanding it helps in addressing underlying emotional conflicts. It is not a clinical diagnosis but a way to describe certain patterns of desire or attraction linked to family and childhood experiences.
