Animality and Incestuality

<br/><br/> This text is a reflection on a particular form of incestuality that I have termed the « Tamagushi effect ». Occurring in some families, this effect concerns the ties between parents and children but it also appears in couples. I explore the question of whether this form of incestuality can be considered as the residue of a particular form of animality that characterises parent-child relations in some families. In this text I attempt to take up this concept, which was invented by Paul Claude Racamier but has undergone many controversies, and to understand it from a new perspective, based on some clinical work carried out with a family, of which I will relate some extracts.
