In this article the authors discuss a theoretical-clinical construction - perversion - aware of the fact that very little consensus has been reached on this question among writers working with the various theories in the field of psychoanalysis. Many insist on the "right to be different" as a legitimate expression of psychic organization. They also stress that any attempt at setting down norms and trying to transform a subject into a "theoretical-subject" constitute a perversion of the psychoanalyst's role. For the authors of this article, the clinic of perversion brings up a debate on the ethics of listening and leads each analyst to come into contact with his or her own perverse drives.
