The blond angel with black sex. Pedophilia and transmission

The author examines the question of pedophilic fantasies and their acting out in a three-fold development. First, the treatment of children by their parents in the early years of psychoanalysis and the impact of unanalyzed transference ; then, research on counter-transference experienced by children’s analysts, which remains an understudied field in the psychoanalytical literature ; and finally, the archetypal figure of the divine child as a key to a reading of the psychogenesis of the pedophilic perversion.
