Abstract

Sexual aggressors. Is a psychoanalytic treatment possible under judicial prescription? As base in an individual psychotherapeutic practice, of psychoanalytic inspiration, conduct alongside the sexual aggressor inmates in a male jail house, this study interpellates, in one hand, the limits of a subscription of a therapeutic logic in a repressive picture-case, that of the prison, which modalities are found to be ruled by a legal approach -- that of the law relative to the obligation of treatment -- and, on the other hand, the paradox of an imposed therapy, sustained by a normalization logic, of devious effects and to which the sexual aggressors, under the effect of its dominated functioning by process of cleavage and refusal, are submitted as in "good intentions".
