Igama elithi "fetishism" livela olimini lwesiPutukezi ukupela okusho ukuthi okokwenziwa, ukupela, ukupela. Ivela ngolimi lwesiFulentshi ngekhulu lesi-XNUMX ngaphansi kobuholi bukaDe Brosses¹. Ehlatshwe umxhwele yilezi zinto ezihlonishwa abantu base-Afrika, ezibizwa ngokuthi izithixo, usungula leli gama ukuze afanelekele leli hlelo:

« Ngicela ukuthi ngivunyelwe ukusebenzisa le nkulumo ngokwejwayelo, futhi nakuba ngokwencazelo yayo efanele ihlobene ikakhulukazi nenkolelo yamaNigro ase-Afrika, ngixwayisa kusengaphambili ukuthi nami ngihlose ukuyisebenzisa. ekhuluma nganoma yisiphi esinye isizwe noma ngabe izinto ezikhonzwayo kuyizilwane noma izidalwa ezingaphili ezenziwa unkulunkulu; ngisho nalapho ukhuluma ngezinye izikhathi ngabantu abathile izinto zalolu hlobo ezingaphansi koNkulunkulu ababizwa ngokufanelekile, kunezinto ezinikezwe ubuhle baphezulu, izibikezelo, iziphazamiso, kanye nama-talisman alondolozayo. ".

Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lesi-XNUMX, igama elithi “i-fetishist” alisasho umlandeli wenkolo yakudala, kodwa selisho umlandeli wenkolo yakudala. "Ukuhlanekezela" yesimanje, ngomqondo wokungajwayelekile, ukuphambuka ngokobulili. Ukwamukelwa okusha kwaleli gama kuyamangaza, kufakazela lapho isidingo se-semantic esingenakuphikiswa. Ukusetshenziswa "kwento" ephambukiselwe emgomweni wocansi bekuchazwe isikhathi eside kodwa bekungakaqanjwa ngokuqondile. 

Kubhekwa njengokuphazamiseka kokuthanda ucansi ku-International Statistical Classification of Diseases kanye Nezinkinga Zezempilo Ezihlobene, "i-fetishism" ibekwa phakathi kwe-"sadomasochism" kanye nombukiso. Ibonakala nge-predilection eshiwo kwesinye isitho somunye, ngezimfanelo zomzimba noma zengqondo noma izinto ezingaphili, ngokuvamile izingubo. Nalu uhlu lwezinto ezivame kakhulu:

– Isifuba, ikhala, izandla, amacansi;

- umbala wezinwele, usayizi womzimba, ubuthakathaka, iphunga;

- Amaduku, izicathulo, i-nightcap, amakhekhe okulila;

- Izinyawo, umlomo, umfaniswano, njll.

- Uhlobo lwezinto ezibonakalayo: isikhumba, i-latex, uboya.

Lezi zinto zizovusa, ngokuhlangana, izethulo ezinamandla zobuntu futhi zizogqamisa amandla omuzwa wenjabulo yocansi etholwayo.

Wonke umuntu "ungaphezu noma ngaphansi kwe-fetishist" othandweni ngokusho kwe-Binet. Ngakho uhlukanisa "i-fetishism encane" kusukela "kwi-fetishism enkulu", okungaba yi-pathological.

Umlingiswa we-pathological uzoqala lapho "uthando lwanoma iyiphi imininingwane" lubusa kuze kube seqophelweni lokusula yonke eminye. UMax Dessoir yizi: « uthando oluvamile kithi lubonakala njenge-symphony eyakhiwe ngemisindo yazo zonke izinhlobo. Kuvela ngenxa yokuthakasela okuhlukahlukene kakhulu. Ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, ungumkhohlisi omkhulu. Umthakathi wazi kuphela i-timbre yensimbi eyodwa; kwakhiwa ukuvuswa okunqunyiwe, kuwukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu oyedwa. »

Izinhlamvu ezintathu zisetshenziselwa ukushintshela ku- i-fetishism ye-pathological :

- Ukuqina komugqa oshicilelwe: sigcina lokhu kubikezela impilo yonke.

- Ukungavimbeki komfutho

– Umlingiswa okhethekile wento ekwanelisekeni ngokocansi okulimaza ukuphelela kwayo. 

Kusukela ekuqaleni (okuboniswa ikakhulukazi yindaba yomthakathi odumile we-“nightcap” okuthiwa umangaze uyise nonina egqoke ama-nightcaps eneminyaka engu-5 ubudala embhedeni), odokotela bengqondo baye basola ukuthi abanye “Imibono yobuntwana Kusenesikhathi ukudlala indima enkulu ekulungiseni amakhubalo.

Izehlakalo zobuntwana, ikakhulukazi phakathi kweminyaka emi-4 neyisi-6, zibonakala zinendima ekubukekeni kwalokhu kuphambana ngokocansi. 

I-Pathological fetishism ingaba nobunzima kulowo ohlukunyeziwe kanye nakumlingani ovame ukuba nomuzwa wokungathandwa ngokuphelele. Imikhuba ephindaphindayo nenemingcele efunwa abathakathi ingase futhi ibangele ukukhathala kozakwethu.

Ngenxa yalezi zizathu, abanye basebenzisa ukwelashwa kwengqondo, i-psychotherapy noma ukwelashwa kwengqondo. Lokhu kuzodinga kuqala ukukhuluma nodokotela ojwayelekile noma uchwepheshe.
