The Unheimlich as Wegmarken between eros and thanatos, that is the perturbing between sexuality and destructiveness. Reflections from an expert case

Abstract

In this paper, the Authors, taking their cue from a singular expert case, intend to address two problems, respectively of an epistemological and methodological nature: first of all, about the so-called perturbing, understood not only as a concept of psychopathological significance, but also as a construct that, under certain conditions, becomes the indicator of a path of criminological significance; moreover, the possibility of using this marker in a psychiatric-forensic key, that is, as a gnoseological device that allows a criminogenetic and criminodynamic reconstruction of a criminal typology placed in a process that degenerates from sexuality into destructiveness.
