The Triumphant Victim

A Psychoanalytical Perspective on Sadomasochism and Perverse Thinking

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Most people have some idea of the meaning of the words sadism and masochism, but for few people does their understanding go beyond rather vague ideas such as inflicting, or enjoying pain. This book examines psychological, defence mechanisms - such as hysteria and projective identification - and looks at their relationship to sado-masochism.
