ABSTRACT

The setting-up of psychosexuality can be seen as the way that a person integrates their body and genital perception, their erotic sexuality, their conscious and unconscious fantasies, their experiences and their identification with their first objects. A. Green in his paper "The neuter gender" suggests that certain psychopathological structures seem to be set in a period of time where there is no sexual differentiation. The sexualisation that creates the Oedipus complex, where there is the recognition of the other, of the sexual differentiation and of the incompleteness, breaks the spell of the neuter, of the asexual, the narcissistic, that, in serious situations, provokes near sinister feelings. This chapter presents an analysis of Moira, a very skilled medical doctor. Through analytic work, Moira can gradually accept her limitations and realise her possibilities, finding her own way to be herself and to live her sexuality.
