Repression and castration in anxiety hysteria: little Hans and Christopher Haitzmann

One considers here a logical clue found in Freud who distinguishes two particular effects in anxiety hysteria. The first one is related to little Hans phobia where libido is transformed into anxiety only. In the second effect the anxiety hysteria grows, at any proportion, to a blending with the conversion hysteria. One supposes this has occurred to Christopher Haitzmann. These two cases were compared to the situation of typical heterosexuality where repression and castration are better structured. Some results are inferred: Hans regards to an atypical homosexuality and Haitzmann to an atypical heterosexuality.
