Showing a complex palinode, wanting name translated (7)
I believe the answer is:
oedipal
'showing a complex' is the definition.
(suggestive of the Oedipus complex)
'palinode wanting name translated' is the wordplay.
'wanting' is a deletion indicator (to want something can mean to lack it or need it).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'palinode' with 'n' taken out is 'paliode'.
'paliode' is an anagram of 'OEDIPAL'.
(Other definitions for oedipal that I've seen before include "Like a complex" , "Relating to a son/mother complex" , "Type of complex" , "Of legendary king of Thebes" , "type of conflict arising in Greece" .)
