[Aurorism: clinical manifestation of a 'female analogy' of perversion].
There have been no convincing ideas to date explaining the far less frequent occurrence of perverse symptom formation in females compared to males.


OBJECTIVE
Unlike the intrapsychic mechanisms for self-esteem regulation in males as a basic component of perversion--extraphysically (compensatory) culminating in an output of sexual impulses--a functional stabilisation of the female self-concept seems more likely if conflict drives were to be focussed on reproductional aspects and not on sexuality. Hence, it seems--in linguistic analogy to perversion--more suitable to use a new expression: "reproversion". A case history of "aurorism" gives an example of a clinical manifestation in terms of "reprovese" symptom formation. A general survey describes the main points of view in regard to a clinically orientated subdivision, namely intensity, the ego-proximity in the personality structure and the own self-acceptance within the "reproverse" symptom formation as well as a view of the underlying personality disturbances.
