Abstract

It is uncertain to characterize a perverse personality, defined as structure. It may seem even more daring to consider a group as perverse and a fortiori to extend to an organization. Some recurring operations are related to this perversion: instrumentality of others, reversal, negation of otherness. How to draw the line between pathology or deviance, between what is the structure or the relationship, between what is individual or collective? These questions find some answers in the analysis of the genesis and evolution of an organization with a charismatic leader.
