Abstract
The position of the father in the formation of totems, in religion, in philosophy (Confucian and neo-Confucian) and in psychoanalysis is described in a Freudian/Lacanian framework. The application of this in understanding the psychodynamics of both phobic and obsessional neurosis is demonstrated through the study of two of Freud's case histories. The use of Group-analytic psychotherapy in the management of patients is then described, highlighting the nature of specific resistances encountered in therapy groups where the majority of members predominantly suffer from obsessional and phobic neuroses.
