Hold the phone, your mother complex is not your actual mother. Everyone has a mother complex. You have to determine the nature of yours. There's another book called Lying with the heavenly woman by Robert Johnson, who also authored Own your own shadow, which goes hand in hand with the other books. Because you're not particularly intelligent, you dont need to read the book that otherwise goes with this "Neurosis and Human growth", besides the point, let me paraphrase:
"A man worth his salt is one that can distinguish his mother complex and his actual mother", it is the regressive tendencies of man that are referred to here.
