Abstract

Today our age is moving from age of neurosis of hystery and obsession to age of perversion of narcissistic & borderline syndrome. There is time background of this change, that is decline of patriarchy. Prolongation of infant-mother dyadic relationship in early developmental period and absence or weak father may break Oedipus complex and may result in pre-Oedipus complex pathology as borderline & narcissistic personality disorder of modern psychiatric diagnosis and may result in perversion of Lacanian diagnosis. And generalization of narcissistic syndrome also shows decline of neurosis and prosperity of perversion. As a result of analysis of James Joyce, topological system of Lacan works to each subject relatively. Therefore goal of Lacanian psychoanalysis for jouissance need to be corrected to contain this relativism for subjects of different topological positions.
