The Pathway of Perversion and Neurosis Relative to Anxiety

Ira: I love this question because it does put us on the path of perversion and neurosis relative to anxiety. And what we have so far, just to be clear, is that what produces anxiety in the neurotic allows you to in the pervert. In the meantime, anybody who wants to follow up on this, I would again recommend Bruce Fink's clinical introduction to Lacan note in particular his case analysis of the dude with the button fetish. If I can't get a quick answer from a friend in San Francisco, I'll get Bruce directly and see what he says about this. Maybe even see if he can join us one of these times.
