This panel will treat the experience of disregulation or, as it has been

called by LaPlanche, Stein, and , " Excess, " that is inherent in the

formation of sexuality. In particular, we will focus on the effects and

trajectory of male sexuality, where classic themes of overstimulation,

seduction, and betrayal in the early relationship to mother are crucial. One

effect is that overexcitement and anxiety become indistinguishable;

excitement becomes dangerous and the shutdown of desire is the result. In

treatment, the work with the mother-baby relationship is essential to deal

with what appear to be problems of sexual inhibition and death of desire.

The therapist is constantly monitored by the patient in relation to the

threat of overstimulation by maternal desire as well as the threat of

abandonment and betrayal, all of which contributes to destabilizing the

attachment relationship.
