This paper discusses the effects of pervert's denial (Verleugnung) of the other, the collectivity and highlights its possible directions. The related research was carried out at a family health unit in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, and the participants were female community health workers in discussion groups. We discussed a clinical fragment in which a child had been abused by a perverse individual. There was a clear need for intervention to stop the pervert's jouissance and free the child.
