In this volume, Jokl Dors practiced command of psychoanalytic theory and rigorous expository style are brought to bear on a concept which has long been a subject of fascination and misapprehension: perversion. In Dors account, perversion is something that applies to each of us, at least when it comes to the structural dynamics of desire that it reveals. Clearing away the surrounding ideological clutter, Dor explains perversion in structural terms that go beyond the occurrence of a psychopathological scenario and brings us closer, through compelling clinical tales, to a profound understanding of the concept of psychic structure.
