This paper conducts a conceptual analysis of the theory of Cultural Complexes in the works of Samuel Kimbles and Thomas Singer. A theory of Cultural Complexes can be used as a form of intergroup conflict analysis, describing a description of an internal sociology. This review aims to present a current critique and critique of the concept. Integration themes, telos, and the presence of cultural complexes in clinical practice and some critiques of the concept are presented. Note the presence of complementary concepts that seek to support this theory. Finally, it is observed the maintenance of a basic structure of this concept, although the contributions have been verified throughout the analyzed works, mainly in the use of concepts that seek to complement the description of the applications of the Cultural Complexes.

Keywords : analytical psychology; cultural complex; cultural unconscious; intergroup conflict.
