Perversion; a Jungian approach

1 Setting the scene. 2 Rationale for the structure of the book. 3 The length and breadth of the concept of perversion. 4 From perversion to perverse structure. 5 Relationship between the perverse structure and non-sexual perversion. 6 A Jungian perspective. 7 Formulation including a Jungian perspective. 8 Perversion: present and future

Theoretical understanding of perversion is neglected in analytical psychology, and narrowly developed in psychoanalysis, where it traditionally refers to sexual perversion. The aim of the author is to revise the psychoanalytic model through the introduction of Jungian concepts that extend the understanding of perversion beyond the bounds of sexuality to a more general relational context.'
