perversion is the key to Le Sinthome

Back to Stephanie Swales (2012)

The perverse subject is he who has undergone alienation but disavowed castration, suffering from excessive jouissance, and a core belief that the law and social norms are fraudulent at worst and weak at best. (Swales, 2012, Introduction)

Paraphilia is seen as a descriptive diagnosis that could apply to either perversion or neurosis. (Stephanie Swales, Neurosis or Perversion？ A Lacanian psychoanalytic diagnostic and clinical approach to the treatment of paraphilia at a forensic outpatient setting: A case study and exegetical method, 2011, PhD Dissertation)
