Area of Science:

  • Psychoanalysis
  • Psychopathology

Background:

  • Builds upon Wilfred Bion's concepts of psychotic and non-psychotic personality parts.
  • Reviews major psychoanalytic theories on perversion, including Freud's splitting and disavowal, Klein's projective identification, Bion's -K link, and Meltzer's transference perversion.

Observation:

  • Examines perverse thought through a case study and clinical vignettes within the analytic process.
  • Focuses on the unique projective identification in perverse schemes, the role of the lie, and attacks on knowledge via the -K link.

Findings:

  • Identifies perverse thought as a distinct thought disorder.
  • Illustrates its manifestation and key features within the analytic setting.
  • Highlights the formation of the -K link as a mechanism attacking knowledge.

Implications:

  • Perverse thought functions as a significant resistance mechanism in psychoanalytic therapy.
  • Clarifying perverse thought is essential for addressing its aim to subvert the analytic relationship and the pursuit of truth.
  • Understanding this pathology is vital for effective psychoanalytic treatment.
