inferiority complex. Carl Jung established the psychoanalyt- ical term complex in a 1907 work, but it had been coined by his colleague A. L. S. Neisser a year before. Complex means in this sense “a system of interrelated, emotion-charged ideas, feel- ings, memories, and impulses that is usually repressed and that gives rise to abnormal or pathological behavior.” Inferiority complex became a psychiatric term at about the same time and came generally to mean “lack of self esteem, lack of confidence.” |
