AIMS:
- provide insight to Freud's theories on infant sexuality and resolving the oedipus complex
- how phobias are the result of unconscious activity
METHOD:
- Longitudinal Case Study
PARTICIPANTS:
- Little Hans (aged 3 at start of study)
- Herr and Frau Graf (parents)
PROCEDURE:
- Age 3 developed obsession with Widdler - suffered panic attack - scared white horses would bite him
- Father wrote to Freud explaining fear/obsession - H wanted mum to dry/talcom widdler, daydreamed about bathing own children
- Freud: oedipus complex, trying to seduce mother 'masturbatory indulgence' - should discourage from touching widdler/avoid sharing bed
- Mom threatened to cut off -> panic attacks
- White horse story 'dont put your fingers to the white horse or it'll bite you' - H linked to Widdler - didn't cure
- Daydream: 2 giraffes - crumped/tall - H sat on crumpled, big called out but H ignored
- Freud: tall=dad, crumpled=mother -> sexual desire for mother
- Scared of big horses pulling carts
- Freud: horse=father, (blinkers=glasses, facial hair=moustache)
- Scared of horses falling down, had seen horse fall and die?
- Freud: wanted father dead? severe oedipus complex
- Daydream: in bath with plumber, unscrews widdler and places big borer in stomach
- Freud: mother is pregnant, H is aware - jealous?
- Hannah is born when H is 4, attacks increase - scared of bed/bath time - scared of falling in - wished Hannah was dropped - (leading questions used)
- Freud: still oedipus - jealous, if sister could be dropped so could he -> no baths - baths linked horses and pregnancy
- H showed signs of regression - poo obsession (anal stage)
- Freud: related to child birth
- Imaginary friend - Lodi - sausage…
