Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist who lived at the same time as Sigmund Freud, and initially agreed with his psychoanalytic theory in many respects. However, it was Jung who in 1913 renamed Freud’s Oedipus complex as the “Electra complex” when it was applied to girls. This name is after the Greek myth of Electra, who plotted the death of her mother as revenge for the murder of her father.
