In Freudian Psychoanalysis, gender development is due to issues related to castration in the Oedipus Complex, which is controversial in Feminism because of the nature of Freudian castration. Classical Freudian psychoanalysis posits that, because women lack the visible genitals of the male, they feel they are "missing" the most central necessary for gaining narcissistic value, and therefore they develop a sense of gender inequality and penis envy.

  • In Freudian Psychoanalysis, gender development is due to issues related to castration in the Oedipus Complex, which is controversial in Feminism because of the nature of Freudian castration. Classical Freudian psychoanalysis posits that, because women lack the visible genitals of the male, they feel they are "missing" the most central necessary for gaining narcissistic value, and therefore they develop a sense of gender inequality and penis envy. In his late theory on the feminine Freud recognized the early and long lasting libidinal attachment of the daughter to the mother during the pre-oedipal stages. Feminist psychoanalysts have often struggled with the concept of the Oedipus Complex and the significance of the real, imaginary and symbolic phallus, and have reached different conclusions about it. Some generally agree with Freud's major outlines, making only a few modifications to it while mainly contributing to pre-Oedipal thinking. Others, however, reformulate Freud's theories more rigorously.
