Addiction to the internet, human cohabitation with life-size, technologically-enhanced love dolls, DIY body hacking, widespread government surveillance, unbridled corporate corruption, militarization of the police, S&amp;M gone mainstream, and extreme reality TV are all manifestations of a perverse society.<\/p>\n<p>This volume presents several clinical cases taken from Dr. Knafo\u2019s private practice, including a man who lived with and loved a sex doll, a woman who wanted to be a Barbie doll, a man who used the internet to seduce minors, an internet sex addict, and a man who \u201ccatfished\u201d to lure sex partners. Also examined are cases involving widespread social perversion in large corporations, the mental health care industry, and even the government. George Orwell\u2019s novel <em>1984<\/em> is presented as a nearly perfect model of the malignant perverse state.<\/p>\n<p>In considering the continued impact of technology on society, the authors discuss changes already taking place in psychotherapy that make use of technology and speculate about what the future may hold for a species moving toward its own mechanization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Age-of-Perversion-Desire-and-Technology-in-Psychoanalysis-and-Culture\/Knafo-Lo-Bosco\/p\/book\/9781138849211\">https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Age-of-Perversion-Desire-and-Technology-in-Psychoanalysis-and-Culture\/Knafo-Lo-Bosco\/p\/book\/9781138849211<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5045 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knafophoto1116w.gif\" alt=\"knafophoto1116w\" width=\"200\" height=\"262\" \/>Danielle Knafo, PhD<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"m&#97;&#105;&#x6c;&#x74;o&#58;&#100;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x69;e&#108;&#108;&#x65;&#x6b;na&#102;&#x6f;&#x40;&#x67;m&#97;&#105;&#x6c;&#x2e;co&#109;\">Email Danielle Knafo<\/a><a href=\"&#109;&#x61;i&#108;&#x74;o&#58;&#x64;a&#x6e;&#x69;&#101;&#x6c;l&#101;&#x6b;n&#97;&#x66;o&#x40;&#x67;&#109;&#x61;&#x69;&#108;&#x2e;c&#111;&#x6d;\"><br \/>\n<\/a>website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielleknafo.com\">http:\/\/www.danielleknafo.com<br \/>\n<\/a>blog: <a href=\"http:\/\/artfromtheedge.net\">http:\/\/artfromtheedge.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danielle Knafo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5130,"menu_order":5,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[51],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5043","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","issuem_issue-bookshelf-specia-edition-december-2016"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
