This paper aims to outline some of the common characteristics of patients who share the sad reality of being daughters of probably perverse mothers. The research was based primarily on the clinical method. In the paper some theoretical ideas about perversion as structure are initially discussed. Based on clinically relevant data, cases are presented. Symptoms that seem to be shared by these patients, in principle, being daughters of mothers with this structure, are systematized. It concludes with a series of crossroads in psychoanalysis and research with these patients.
