Oedipus Separating from Jocasta by Alexandre Cabanel
In psychoanalytic theory, the Jocasta complex is the incestuous sexual desire of a mother towards her son.[1]
Raymond de Saussure introduced the term in 1920 by way of analogy to its logical converse in psychoanalysis, the Oedipus complex, and it may be used to cover different degrees of attachment,[2] including domineering but asexual mother love – something perhaps particularly prevalent with an absent father.
