D. Winnicott (primary maternal preoccupation) and A. Green (ma­ternal madness) have referred to the hyperidentification of the mot­her with the baby, during her pregnancy and the weeks that follow birth. J. Kristeva qualifies the special tie to her child as the maternal passion and emphasizes both the libidinal and the symbolic aspects of this relation. The maternal experience transforms deeply a woman on a psychical and sexual level. Pregnancy and the birth of the child allow her to resolve the emotional traces of the oedipal complex. It is the lime when the woman can experience the fecundity of her genital organs (vagina and uterus) and verify that they have not been dama­ged by the oedipal mother. Thus her castration anxiety can be find a resolution. The fact that feminine genital organs are located inside the body and are not visible for the girl contributes to castration anxi­ety. She has no means of veryfing if they are intact or not.
