My Opinion of Freud on Little Hans

I really think he is a strange person, maybe a genius. His way of creating theories and thinking is very unique and weird. In this case of Little Hans, he try to solve a mental illness that occured on a 5 years old boy name Hans. Hans have a great fear of horse which Freud try to find out the reason. The method he used in this case is just as strange as himself. He interpret Hans' word and dreams thinking that the boy's dreams are a symbol of something. However the stragest thing was how he interpret these symbol. He compare the horse with load as Hans' mother when she is pregnant and the fear of horse as the fear of the boy's father. Although it his interpretation might be weird, but in the end Freud was able to come to a conclusion on the boy's fear and successfully cure Hans. Looking at his interpretation suggested that his method of thinking is very unique. How did he came up with his interpretation is very interesting and also mysterious, so I conclude from this case that Freud must really be a genius of our kind.
