This article is a critique of the frequent and reflexive use of the Oedipus complex in clinical discussions as a constellation that refers specifically to experiences of young children. A more fluid concept of the Oedipus complex is described in which it is seen as a constellation of issues that derives from early childhood and recurs throughout development. The adolescent Oedipus complex is described in detail and is seen as the more probable form that occurs in treatment when adult patients are describing their sexual and gender-based lives
