內容簡介: |
Portnoy''s Complaint "n." after Alexander Portnoy 1933- ] A
disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are
perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a
perverse nature. Spielvogel says: ''Acts of exhibitionism,
voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful;
as a consequence of the patient''s "morality," however, neither
fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather
in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution,
particularly in the form of castration.'' Spielvogel, O. "The
Puzzled Penis," "Internationale Zeitschrift fur Psychoanalyse,"
Vol. XXIV, p. 909. It is believed by Spielvogel that many of the
symptoms can be traced to the bonds obtaining in the mother-child
relationship. With a new Afterword by the author for the 25th
Anniversary edition.
