Maurice Bouvet’s references to Jacques Lacan & Edward Glover in Maurice Bouvet’s text:
P42: Jacques Lacan
This is what is meant by saying that the parental images are undifferentiated and that, under an oedipal form, the subject has a one-one relationship with a phallic personage. This is how fixation and regression are connected in fact. That small part of the ego that was going ahead, as it were, toward a better adapted, more objective form of organization can only revert to that form of organization in which the greater part of the personality is fixed. In reality, things are infinitely more complicated, and we ought to emphasize the alleviation of the relational situation by the mere fact that the father is involved as a distinct object (mediatory effect of father; Lacan) .
When regression intervenes, then, the whole personality is brought back to the anal-sadistic type of organization.
P48: Edward Glover
In this way, his relationships with other human beings appeared normal at the cost of an extremely rigid, defensive isolation, and his relationships with symbolic persons (his obsessions) were pathologic in a less controlled, and therefore more valid because dynamic, fashion.
Such a regression, as Glover has justly remarked, not only protects the subject from the inherent difficulties of the oedipal situation but also restores the subject to a perfectly tried and true mode of contact with the world.
p66 : Edward Glover
A close connection exists between perverse and neurotic organizations of the psyche. There is no difference in nature between the perverse ego and the neurotic ego, and the problem always remains the same : how to organize the object relationship. But there remains one aspect of the question to which I should like to draw attention. As Glover pointed out in 1933, the existence of a perversion favors the conservation of a certain sense of reality. It represents a periodic attempt to struggle against introjection, and the projection of anxiety by excessive libidinization. Sometimes this is directed against the parts of the body of the subject or the object threatened with destruction. According to Glover, “Libidinization is one of the primitive cures for fear, for it obliterates the imaginary deformations of reality caused by fear.” If I understand this remark correctly, it is only to the extent that the patient can exhaust the regressive instinctual tensions and the accompanying conflicts within a significant object relationship which is limited to the system of the perversion or addiction that an apparently objective view of reality is possible.
NOTE : The probably refers to The relation of perversion-formation to the development of reality-sense : 7th September 1932 (Wiesbaden) [1933] : Edward Glover. See this site /5 Other Authors A-Z (Glover or Index of Authors’ texts)
