Freud developed three versions about the figure of the father: Oedipus, Father of the Horde, and Moses. In these versions the author reports the parricide. If the son is one of the solutions for the woman, for the man the son assumes the profile of a phobic object, because there is a privileged relationship between father and castration. The access to paternity claims that the man modernizes his Oedipus. This way takes, inevitably, to the encounter of the castration, which results in narcissistic lost. However, those men that support the first impact and sustain the father's position pass to their kids more than genes.
