title: [Perversion or impossible compromise].
abstract: In this paper we comment our recent book about sexual perversion. This clinic entity is relatively little known, even though very frequent, because the word "perversion" is used in a discriminatory way. The international classifications treat about "paraphilies", but they do not take into account the personality of these patients. We will expose first a psychoanalytical conception of perversion and secondly by means of clinical cases present new forms of this pathology involving a fascination of the pervert toward death. Death and sexuality being inseparable in perversion.
