Manifest Content
A young woman, behind a tree, holding some objects, is watching another woman running bellow her. There is no apparent generational difference.
Latent Content
This card focus on some identity issues. There is a confusion with the two characters – is the girl watching herself? It also approaches the female sexual identification, by assuming a rivalry about a third character not represented in the card.
What to Expect
A prevalent story is about a love triangle. Both girls are in love or want a relationship with the same boy. This third character is absent from the image but central in the story.
Oedipus Complex Context: The relationship of rivalry between the two characters refers to the mother-daughter rivalry. This perception takes the patient, many times, to alter the manifest content. They introduce a generational difference between the two characters that there isn’t in the card. The mother becomes the representation of what is forbidden – the mother is lurking.
