Freud perceived identification with the same-sex parent as the outcome of successful resolution of the Oedipus complex.

To add, Oedipus complex is the complex of emotions aroused in a young child, typically around the age of four, by an unconscious sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex and a wish to exclude the parent of the same sex.
