Doctors of non-traditional orientation

Psychoanalysis of professional perversions among doctors of non-traditional medical orientationMedical perversion is a fixed and persistent pathological professional behavior characterized by a deviation from the normal for modern medicine.
Elements of such perversions, as noted by Z.Freud, are found in the practice of almost every normal doctor, replacing real patient care or coexisting with such under certain circumstances.
Medical perversions are characterized by special fantasies, ways of advertising their activities or special requirements for the patient. Typical examples are homeopathy, bioenergetic and bioresonance diagnostics and therapy, as well as treatment with biologically active additives.
Oriental methods of treatment are often considered as normal variations, however, some of their forms correspond to the definition given here. It is not always possible for such a doctor to identify the whole complex of perverted behavior. When he manages to provide relief from anxiety associated with pre-phallic and unsubstantiated conflicts of development, other ways of achieving creative orgasm are suppressed.
Medical perversions are usually practiced with partners, often in the form of stable groups formed by patients and fellow followers, or without them, with a predominance of creative masturbation, can manifest themselves in an exceptional form or be combined with others.
Harbingers of perversions, according to Freud, are revealed in early childhood and student years in fantasies and hobbies. Medical perversions arise at the moment of transferring children's fantasies into the real practice of a doctor.
The protective nature of these perversions consists in a compromise withdrawal from effective practice into the realm of unconscious fantasies. In the typical perversions of unconscious fantasies, the evidence-based approach to the choice of treatment, the effectiveness and safety of the methods used are denied. Perversion functions are complex and multiplically deterministic.
In addition to its role as a compromise formation between the derivatives of diagnosis and treatment, medical perversion performs important functions of preserving quasi-professionalism, including getting rid of the fear of exposing one's helplessness and uselessness, controlling tyranny, stabilizing self-conceit, expressing medical identification and triumph over it, dehumanizing and neutralizing threatening objects, filling gaps in the sense of reality and release from painful affects, such as depression. Since the term "perversion" has acquired a pejorative meaning, it is sometimes replaced by the concepts of medical deviation or paramedicine.
The term "alternative medicine" emphasizes the unusual quality or nature of the object of medical interest, while the concept of medical deviation refers to professional activity that goes beyond the norm from the point of view of statistics or culture.
These terms imply isolated categories, but medical perversion rarely represents a separate clinical manifestation of pathology. As a rule, it occurs in combination with a wide range of disorders from psychoses and disorders of professional self-identification to neuroses with the displacement of the tendency to perversion.
Although the professional activity of a doctor of non-traditional orientation may be permeated by a variety of perverted fantasies, medical perversion does not always prevent the establishment of relationships with relevant patients. Stable object relations occur in persons with a variety of forms of perversion.
