Violence and hold in relationships: Incest, murdering authority - 2022.


53

The “bond of authority” which is specific to incest masks a psychological hold, the specific issues of which must be examined. This article aims to show the double theoretical and clinical inscription of what the author describes as a “murder of authority” in a double meaning of this formulation. After a first part devoted to a theoretical-clinical approach to this proposal, centered on the dynamic of trauma and linked to the observation of an anthropological invariant of sexual domination, the second clinical part allows us to examine the issues of transmission that contribute to the “murder of authority” within families in which incestuous violence takes place.
