Abstract

COUTINHO, Alberto Henrique Soares de Azeredo. The Color of Castration. Reverso [online]. 2008, vol.30, n.56, pp.85-91. ISSN 0102-7395.

Stemming from Freud’s clinical report on a child’s animal phobia, a careful study is done on the process of building a chain of signifiers which points to the equation castration-anxiety-repression. The chronology of the main facts in this case have been divided into specific moments, allowing an overview of theory and clinical aspects in the genesis of phobia.

Keywords : Castration; Anxiety; Oedipus; Body; Repression; Phobic sliding.
