This book explores what we mean when we use the term "perversion."
Are we dealing with a sexological classification, a mental
disturbance, an ethical deviation, a hedonistic style, or an
historical-cultural artifact? The book retraces some of the
fundamental stages in the field of psychoanalytic thought-from
Freud to Masud Khan, Stoller, and Lacan-and proposes an original
approach: that "paraphilias" today are taken as an ethical failure
of the sexual relationship with the other. The perversions signal a
specific relationship with the other, who is treated not simply as
a sexual object, but someone whose subjectivity is ably exploited
precisely in order to get a perverse pleasure. Acts, if considered
perverse, are understood as a metaphorical re-edition of a trauma,
above all sexual, in which the subject (as a child) suffered the
bitter experience of exclusion or jealousy.
