Der Lilith-Komplex

Lilith was cast out by Adam, and Eve was created from his rib. These two mythical female figures embody principles of femininity that remain unresolved to this day. This is the cause of a deceptive image of motherhood, along with its negative effects on our society: partnerships are increasingly breaking down, women feel cheated out of essential aspects of their femininity in their role as mothers, and parents often find themselves helpless in the face of their children's wishes and demands.

In many adult relationship issues, a fundamental disturbance in the mother-child relationship is reflected, resulting from an image of motherhood shaped by the figure of Eve, who subordinates her own needs and is self-sacrificing, which no longer corresponds to today's reality.

The Lilith complex, that is, the tabooing of this aspect and the resulting guilt, is deeply culturally rooted, reactivated in the early mother-child relationship, and thus perpetuated.
