Reading Little Hans: A New Podcast Series

By Kate Merritt and Manuel Gabbert

Everyday Analysis is delighted to announce that we are hosting a new podcast series, hosted by Kate Merritt and Manuel Gabbert. It starts with a 5-part exploration into one of Freud's most significant case studies: the fascinating case of Little Hans.

Back in 19xx, little Hans no longer wants to leave the house as he is afraid a horse will bite him. Freud concludes that little Hans is fond of his mother and wants to replace his father. But is there more to his phobia? Kate and Manuel read the little Hans case through the lens of Lacan and his 4th seminar on the Object Relation. We will learn that, in working through the castration complex, Hans is struggling with the lack in the Other and to find an opening for himself in it.

In this 5-part series, Kate and Manuel discuss Freud's famous case of Little Hans and his neuroticisms and perversions. It is a guide for students, a casual and expert analysis and a fascinating read through one of the most important texts in the history of psychoanalysis.

You can watch a clip above, and the rest at our YouTube channel.
