Hans’s mother or the Oedipal version of the mother

Abstract

In this article, we question the mother’s relationship with her child from the equivalence child = phallus. In this sense, it is the clinical consequences of female sexuality for every subject that are posed. For each subject, the relationship of woman / mother with castration is fundamental. From the Hans case, we will investigate the mother’s relationship with her child when the child is in the place of the imaginary phallus and what the consequences are. Hans provides a paradigm of the Oedipal version of the mother from the identification of the child as an imaginary phallus that responds to the mother’s desire and from the encounter with maternal castration, insofar as her mother’s position in sexuation, that is, as woman in relation to her father is not evident. It is essential to collect these effects in this case to highlight the structural challenge facing the child.
