What are complexes?

A complex is a formed set of distortions present in a person's perception of himself. The authors decipher this concept as "a set of thoughts and ideas that are not controlled or not completely controlled by the human mind." Basically, all complexes come from childhood. There are innate complexes that a person has to outgrow and mature, such as the Oedipus complex and the inferiority complex. But many get stuck in them and carry them into adulthood.
