I. Theories of perversion and three clinical cases -- pt. II. Widening the scope of perversion : existential and techno-social domains. 330 $aWe have entered the age of perversion, an era in which we are becoming more like machines and they more like us.? The Age of Perversion explores the sea changes occurring in sexual and social life, made possible by the ongoing technological revolution, and demonstrates how psychoanalysts can understand and work with manifestations of perversion in clinical settings. Until now theories of perversion have limited their scope of inquiry to sexual behavior and personal trauma. The authors of this book widen that inquiry to include the social and political sphere, tracing perversion's existential roots to the human experience of being a conscious animal troubled by the knowledge of death. Offering both creative and destructive possibilities, perversion challenges boundaries and norms in every area of life and involves transgression, illusion casting, objectification, dehumanization, and the radical quest for transcendence. This volume presents several clinical cases, including a man who lived with and loved a sex doll, a woman who wanted to be a Barbie doll, and an Internet sex addict. Also examined are cases of widespread social perversion in corporations, the mental health care industry, and even the government. In considering the continued impact of technology, the authors discuss how it is changing the practice of psychotherapy. They speculate about what the future may hold for a species who will redefine what it means to be human more in the next few decades than during any other time in human history.? The Age of Perversion provides a novel examination of the convergence of perversion and technology that will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, social workers, mental health counselors, sex therapists, sexologists, roboticists, and futurists, as well as social theorists and students and scholars of cultural studies. 410 0$aPsychoanalysis in a new key book series ;$vVolume 32. 606 $aPsychoanalysis 606 $aInformation technology$xSocial aspects 606 $aManners and customs 606 $aSex (Psychology) 615 0$aPsychoanalysis. 615 0$aInformation technology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aManners and customs. 615 0$aSex (Psychology) 676 $a150.19/5 676 $a150.195 700 $aKnafo$b Danielle.$0849678 701 $aLoBosco$b Rocco$0972307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154873603321 996 $aThe age of perversion$92210832 997 $aUNINA
