interview as a method of inquiry.

Oedipus Complex -
The Oedipal complex is a term used by Sigmund Freud in his theory of
psychosexual stages of development to describe a boy's feelings of desire for his mother
and jealously and anger towards his father. Essentially, a boy feels like he is in
competition with his father for possession of his mother. He views his father as a rival for
her attentions and affections.
