How a Son-Lover works psychoanalytic theory :

Pierre Solié does not conceive objective physical reality, taught to us at school, without its opposite, objective psychological reality. These two distinct, but complementary realities, meet in a “passage” called chiasma, where the symbol fits in to the combined flow of drive energy and spiritual energy. The Subject is what makes the “bridge” between the two realities. Solié nevertheless points out a second essential differentiation, opposing the Freudian symbolic Father and oedipal Son with a symbolic Mother and her Daughters and Lover-Sons. Many myths, particularly that of Isis and Osiris, attest to their presence. The Isis-Osiris myth also shows us the archetype of the Double in its many forms. These forms of the archetype play a structuring role with the animus and anima, and therefore cannot appear alone. Solié concludes with the soul, saying it “is composed (...) of these two elements: the Double (of the same sex) and the Complementary (of the other sex) in the same person”.
