Perversion and psychodynamic performance of child unexpected sexual violenter

Abstrat

This article presents the results of a qualitative research, carried out through a bibliographical review, on the perversion

and the psychodynamic functioning of the incestuous sexual abuser of the child. We consider the psychic functioning

of the same, considering the possibilities of intervention, from the psychoanalytic theory and its contributions in the

understanding of this phenomenon. In the last decades, research have been developed seeking to identify diff erent aspects

and consequences of intrafamily sexual violence for the child. We note that there is a lack of research concerning the

understanding of the subjective aspects of incestuous sexual abusers. The meager literature found treats these child

abusers as pedophiles or perverts, not considering the complexity and specifi city of each case. We problematize the

psychic functioning of the incestuous sexual abusers, through research, that promoted the listening of these subjects

in their discourses and subjectivities. We investigate to what extent the use of psychoanalytic theory can explain the

psychological and psychodynamic aspects of the authors of incestuous sexual violence against children beyond the

personality structure of these individuals.
