title: The effects of a scientifically objectifying (self-) understanding on the psychosexual development.
abstract: The question as to whether a spiritualized technical-mechanical world and human image can play a role in the development of sexual perversions was posed. Sexually deviant behaviour could then be understood as being an escape from a mechanical self-experience, poor in sensitivity. The presence of concept contents in psychological tests and anamnestic details which indicate such a self-experience was examined in children and adolescents with disturbances in sexual identity, object choice and sexual behaviour and was analysed for patients with fetishistic or violent tendencies. In fetishistic patients the results came up to our expectations more than in those with tendencies to violence, but not all single results supported our hypothesis.
