Icarus complex

The Icarus analogy of 'flying too close to the sun' has been applied to
(1) A man with a ‘type A’ personality who does not recognise his own limitations, which is attributed to an internalisation of the father-son rivalry
(2) A constellation of mental conflicts, the degree of which reflects the imbalance between a person’s desire for success, achievement, or material goods, and the ability to achieve those goals; the greater the gap between the idealised goal and reality, the greater the likelihood of failure—this is similar to the first definition, but without the underlying father-son rivalry
