Little Hans' father seeks Freud's help.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Mr. Freud, my son Little Hans has got a fear of horses that I cannot seem to explain | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I see. Well, allow me to talk to him. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Now then, Little Hans, why do you think you have this phobia of horses? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I don't know, but I am especially afraid of white horses with black around the mouth who wear blinkers | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Freud reaches a conclusion.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I believe that the appearence of the horse is reference to my moustache and spectacles. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I understand this, and after many days of thinking, I believe that the oedipus complex is in play here. He fears that you will castrate him for desiring his mother. Just talk to him to help him. | |
