Abstract

This article consists in a new approach to the clinical case of little Hans, questioning the difficult task of educating and simultaneously treating a child. While recognizing the importance of this study for the development of Freud's infantile sexuality theory, our discussion will be on what we understand as the "educational" function of Max Graf. Considering this case as an experience that introduces Freud's 1933 proposal of a psychoanalytically oriented education, it is concluded that, engaged in the function of analyst/educator of his own son, Graf enables the absolute access to Hans' mother, accentuating his failure as the castration agent.
