There is an extensive psychoanalytic literature on hysteria and obsessional discourse. These are just some considerations arising from my clinical practice.
- In obsessional neurosis the father is fantasized as dead; however, as the neurotic cannot take his place, his death is not fully believed
- Hysteria fantasizes of an ideal father; then, the real father always lacks of something.
- The obsessional neurotic confounds symbolic and real father; then, s/he often questions and fantasizes about genealogy and heredity
- Hysteria fantasizes of an ideal father; then, the real father always lacks of something.
- One’s desire is the Other’s desire; however, as the Other is the dead father (in the obsessional neurosis), then the desire must be mortified
- The obsessional discourse aims at anticipating and atisfying the Other, so as to prevent the Other from desiring. The Other shall not desire
- The obsessional discourse represents the desire of the Other and aims at satisfying it completely, so that the Other stop desiring.
- In the obsessional discourse the desire of the Other is perceived as a threath. Because it may reveal one's own lack.
- In the obsessional discourse the desire (here perceived as a threat) is represented, with the aim to satisfy it and silence it
