Liens psychopathologiques entre mondes réel et virtuel. Vers une nouvelle équation criminologique

Abstract

This article is the first attempt to explain psychopathologically the mechanisms that play a role in the hidden links that unite the real and virtual worlds. First from the real world to the virtual, then, like a retro-feedback loop, from the virtual world to the real world. These mechanisms are new and recent – less than twenty years old – and highlight a deregulation of instincts, facilitated by a process of disembodiment of behavior. The psychopathological interpretation of these mechanisms and their linking sequences in the real world emphasizes the extent of the amplification and massification of assaults, especially sexual, in the real world. We also examine their trivialization and even their normalization.
