Freudanalysed this by saying it was proof that Hans sexually wanted his mother as he wanted to be herhusband and have her children.Both Freud and Hans' father believe that the big giraffe is the father, its long neck representing a largerwiddler. Hans liked to get into bed with his parents in some mornings and Freud (and the father) believethat the big giraffe's caling out as the crunpled giraffe (the mother) is taken away is the equivilant to thefather objecting to Hans getting into the bed.Ecological ValidityAs a case study, alot of time was ableto be devoted toanalysing Hans'behaviour.Yes. Whilst the exact same analysingtechniques cannot be used, it did give theproof to the theory of psychoanalysing.ValidityDouble click this nodeto edit the textClick and drag this buttonto create a new node
