The Otherness of Sexuality
The present essay, the second of a series of three, aims at developing an experience-near account of sexuality by rehabilitating the idea of excess and its place in sexual experience. It is suggested that various types of excess, such as excess of excitation (Freud), the excess of the other (Laplanche), excess beyond symbolization and the excess of the forbidden object of desire (Leviticus; Lacan) work synergistically to constitute the compelling…
Moments in Laplanche's Theory of Sexuality
This paper is a brief introduction to some of Laplanche's thinking, as well as a commentary on his essay that is published here. Some salient issues in Laplanche's theory are introduced, such as the decentering of the subject and the prioritizing of the other, the postulation of the "reality of the message," in which gestures from the other both signify and excite/seduce, and an enlarged meaning of seduction. The child's translation of the enigma…
Father regression
The author deals with love-hate enthrallment and submission to a primitive paternal object. This is a father-son relationship that extends through increasing degrees of 'primitiveness' or extremeness, and is illustrated through three different constellations that constitute a continuum. One pole of the continuum encompasses certain male patients who show a loving, de-individuated connection to a father experienced as trustworthy, soft, and in nee…
Skimming the Milk, Cajoling the Soul—Embodiment and Obscenity in Sexuality
Responding to Dimen's bringing together the vagaries of disgust, embarrassment, and shame lurking in sexuality, I translate “Eew” into abjection. I emphasize the “otherness” of sexuality mainly through the paradoxes of the body, which can figure as a chunk of flesh, demurring in a state of “facticity” (thingness), but which can also be(come) the house of the soul, the carrier of one's spirit, one's unique individuality and subjectivity. To captur…
Why perversion? 'False love' and the perverse pact
In this paper, the author works with the awareness that perversion is a socially, historically and theologically loaded term, at the same time as it may be the latest frontier in psychoanalysis, both clinically, and in relation to contemporary art and culture which emphasize the perverse. Positioning itself against tendencies to deny the existence of a category of perversion or, inversely, to abuse it for the power that accrues from the act of di…
Dialogues on Sexuality In Development and Treatment
The evolution of a relational perspective has done much to change psychoanalytic thinking about the processes of mutual inf luence in human relating, including that between parent and child, patient and analyst. Beginning with excerpts from Oxenhandler’s recent book, The Eros of Parenthood, this panel explores the dynamics of sexual experiencing and sexual inf luence between parents and children and, in parallel fashion, between analysts and pati…
Vertical Mystical Homoeros An Altered Form of Desire in Fundamentalism
This paper inquires into the kind of desire specific to the fundamentalist mode. The author suggests that the simplistic, black-and-white, ostensibly “horizontal” divisions between good and evil, right and wrong, pure and impure that characterize the fundamentalist sensibility create at the same time two phenomena: (a) gross emotional intensity that endows experience with a stark quality (e.g., grandiosity and abjection), and (b) a “vertical” div…

Affect in psychoanalytic theory
André Green's 1999 programmatic essay on affect and representation, an attempt to extend Freud's model of the neuroses (where affect and representation have different vicissitudes) to non-neurotic cases is submitted to critical reading. Green wishes to restore the importance of representation; to use the second topographical theory, where id, psychical impulse and object-cathexis replace the unconscious and the ideational representation in order …

False Love"-"Why Not?" Fragments or an Analysis
This article describes some dilemmas in the analysis of a man with perverse traits and various manifestations of anxiety who displayed an intense idealizing sexual transference. The phenomenon of sexualization is analyzed in terms of its possible genesis, as well as the affects it is intended to defend against by their magical transformation, this sexualization is linked 10 the body's pain and excitement, seen as the tension between its surface a…

The Enigmatic Dimension of Sexual Experience
Sexual experience has an "otherness" about it that distinguishes it from daily, habitual modes of experiencing and relating. This paper attempts to use Freud's and Laplanche's theories of primal seduction by the mother, who sends an "enigmatic signifier" or message of her sexuality to the child whom she nurtures. A tension arc is created between bodily sensations and the enigmatic other carrying over into adult life and constituting a bedrock for…
