ABSTRACT
Freud's gift to humanity came from his Oedipus complex, Adler's from his inferiority complex, and Jung's from his God complex, though Jung, himself, only rarely used the phrase 'God complex' to describe his particular experience of the 'It'. The Psychoanalytical Movement itself was like a great big extended Jewish family: bound together by the family emotions aroused in the 'transference' by the training analyses to which they all had to submit, they were strongly united against outsiders, while also riven by internal disagreements. Jung and Adler had little chance to remain friends with Freud against the power of Freud's Oedipus complex. That complex shaped his relationships into the reciprocal role model of rebellious son vs. authoritarian father, competing for possession of women. Freud saw himself as subversive, the rebellious son to the authority of the prevailing Kultur, and as a son, metaphorically killing the father of the primal horde as in his anthropological fantasy and successfully winning over the women.
