Abstract

ABSTRACT Looking back on the evolution of psychoanalytic definitions of perversion, this article uses contemporary clinical experience with chem-sex to explore the borders between sex addiction and a paradigm of perversion. Where is the dividing line now between “normal” and “pathological” insofar as perversion is concerned? If the limit is no longer located as much at the boundaries of genital and pregenital, nor does it apply to any consensual sexual conduct, should it be placed at the limits between life and death? In ways of functioning where enjoyment is found in the action of killing the other’s soul or, on the contrary, bringing to life an inanimate object, the author, with reference to three case studies, attempts to open some avenues for reflection about the modalities of therapeutic framework that come into play in such clinical encounters.

面对变态范式的性成瘾

回顾精神分析对变态定义的演变，本文利用当代化学性行为的临床经验来探讨性成瘾与变态范式之间的界限。就变态而言，“正常”和“病态”的分界线在哪里?如果这一界限不再局限于生殖器和前生殖器的界限，也不再适用于任何两厢情愿的性行为，那么它是否应该被置于生与死之间的界限?在杀戮他人灵魂的行为中找到快乐的方式，或者相反，将无生命的物体赋予生命，作者参考三个案例研究，试图打开一些途径，反思在这种临床遭遇中起作用的治疗框架的模式。

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
