Example text

As I had occasion to describe (1978), perversion is closely associated with sadism and destruction. The woman's "maternal aptitude" ac­ counts, at any rate partly, for the fact that she makes fewer appearances in the field of crime and likewise in that of perversion. In addition, she is, generally and for the same reasons, less inclined to use shortcuts in development, the false pretences that give rise to a whole series of psychopathic disturbances, drug addiction (here, however, we have to take into account her propensity for internalization) and perversions.

At a particular moment the actress throws herself back, lifts up her skirts and reveals her sex. The patient's brother and his friend become very agitated, mock the woman and make a cutting motion with their fingers, a gesture which is aimed at letting her know that she is castrated. The patient continues and relates a fantasy: she could pull on her husband's penis, and his body would empty like a balloon being emptied of its air. It should be noted that she had always felt that her husband was the-son-of-her-mother-in­ law, but not a person in his own right.

I will return to this point. Motherhood is consubstantial with female psychosexuality whether or not it results in the birth of a child. In Thalassa (1924), Ferenczi upholds the hypothesis that the return to intra-uterinc life constitutes a universal human fantasy and is eventu­ ally the biological underpinning of the Oedipai wish. By studying the case of a male patient, I have been able to place the fantasy of draining the mother's insides, which is central to Klein's work, at the heart of the problem.
