My impressions of Freud and Little Hans
I'm stunned on how good Freud was. He did not even need to confront his patient to examine them. Moreover, all those symbols and metaphors that little Hans used, with Freud's help, all fell in place. Freud was able to understand the fantasies and and thought of an abnormal 5 year old boy! It is amazing on how accurate Freud was. He linked all the problems to its origin. Thus curing Little Hans. I feel that psychologist and psychotherapy can pinpoint the fundamental cause of neurosis, unless it is biological, however it is up to the individual to heal themselves. The reason why we need psychologist, might be because our defence mechnism of repression, which causes the mind to produce symbols, is actually blocking us from knowing our true thoughts.
