Particular attention should be paid to Hans's childhood masturbations, because through them, through the attitude towards their penis and the sensations they receive when they touch it, this penis becomes real to him. But this is the reason that the penis becomes real, and he thinks it belongs to the mother and the cause of his anxiety, fear of phobia. This is the difference between the game that leads with the mother and the appearance of the real penis. This is a distinction between his own image and the reality of his member, which seems to him insufficient to satisfy the mother, and to justify her love for him. He fears not to lose her love first. The risk is to become completely passive in the game, where the whole initiative will come from the other, from the mother: this will be the way of the future paranoid.

But the father introduces another moment: the castration complex. He introduces it with the bans it says to bring a line into the game, and it is at the center of the Oedipus crisis. But Hans's father is a very nice father who, as a real father, is not fully at the height of the function he has to perform (and unfortunately, this is what happens more and more in life, especially today when the answer to the question, "What is a father?" often seems to be impossible). But here, the real father is helped by Freud, who plays the role of the symbolic father, who is telling the child the Oedipus crisis in which he has sunk. Freud would tell Hans: "Long before I came to this world, I already knew that a little Hans would be born and would love his mother so he would be compelled to fear his father, and I told that to his father ". Exiting Freud Hans he will ask his father: "Does the professor speak to the good old lady Lord so that he can know all this in advance?" Hans will continue to create many fantasies and myths that should allow him to reorganize his imaginary to allow the transition to Oedipus. The phobia testifies to this transition. It actually introduces an excessive order, it organizes the world of the individual between forbidden places, possible places, etc. It introduces this extraordinary, excessive order by imposing an object that causes fear, and even this object performs to a certain extent all the roles and even may replace the function of the father, that of the order. Horses represent everything that can connect with the mother - the fear of being swallowed by her - they can bite; so the fear that the father will not fulfill his function that he will not stand the test - that he can fall.

Or, if I summarize, there is Hans in the case of this game of delusion with the mother; then the real penis comes and its introduction is related to its inadequacy, also caused by a mocking remark by the mother concerning this organ, and finally the birth of the little sister comes. Only then does the phobia of the horse develop. The treatment would be to get Hans to go from mother to father. In fact, whatever she says, Hans is not not to know she is devoid of penis. But this lack at first seems unbearable, and it is on the father's side that he will seek to find what the father can give, what he can bring because the father is the one who is not without him. Passing through the Oedipal Crisis is only possible thanks to the identification with the father. Freud tells the child Oedipus as a myth of the beginning, of the creation, of the origin, in order for it to be born. This myth also testifies to the shortcomings of Hans's father because he is a father who does not scare the child. Envy to the penis. During puberty, the gender difference becomes clear for both the boy and the girl. That is, only the vagina's existence becomes clear to both sexes, but as long as the boy sees sexuality in his penis, the girl must suppress her clitoral sexuality. Or, in simple terms, his desire to be a boy. Nothing that is phallic in a woman is therefore unnatural and shameful. The phallic phase of both sexes, as I tried to show above, is related to how to reach the desire registry. Penis or clitoris? In fact, this is a shift to the imaginary body organ of a completely different matter. Activity or passivity? But from the outset we have to say that this couple is not identical to male and female. Envy to the penis is always jealous of the phallus.
