Abstract

The author underlines the clinical and metapsychological specificity of narcissistic-perversion, a concept that is arousing growing interest among clinicians. With a sort of “moral predation” the patient employs a strategy of manipulation tending to implicate a fascinated, used and insulted third party. The study of narcissistic-perverse defences in a borderline state reveals the importance of a voyeuristic dimension that aims to fill the lack of representation. An illustration from therapy enables us to specify the implication of the counter-transference, which is the veritable pivot of the process.
