Perversion--its ubiquity in infantile life and its persistence in
the psychical and sexual lives of some adults--was a central
element of Freud's lifelong empirical and theoretical work. Many
psychoanalytic schools and orientations have since revisited the
problem of perversion. Some authors have sharpened the definition
of perversion by differentiating it from perverse fantasies,
so-called near-perversions, and perverse traits, whereas others
have sought to re-conceptualize perversion as an erotic form of
hatred, a fixated anal object-relation, or a neo-sexuality. The
result is that Freud's original view of perversion has been
replaced by a large variety of, often contradictory, psychoanalytic
perspectives on its etiology, development, and treatment.This
bi-partite collection of essays offers a series of perspectives on
perversion by a range of psychoanalytic practitioners and
theorists, and a selection of papers by scholars from related
fields who work with, or critique, psychoanalytic theories on
perversion. These unique and invaluable contributions to the study
of psychoanalysis, perversion, and culture stage a serious dialogue
between the discipline of psychoanalysis and its critics and
commentators on the controversial issue of non-normative sexuality.
It is essential reading for students and practitioners of
psychoanalysis, for cultural critics, and for anyone who wants to
know more about the positions occupied by psychoanalysis in
contemporary debates about sexuality.
