anouk driant : « waiting for the adult »
We are allowed to think that the difficulties, nay the impigements young psychotic patients encounter to establish their adult life derive from failing key-moments of their psychological development. The process of time for them, therefore, becomes an endless space rather than a web of life upon which some vivid stages could be put down, i.e. Those which may allow them to grow up.
Will a psychotherapeutic work, combined with an intense institutional nursing, enable to mobilize once again the necessary components to that growth/maturity ?
Michele emmanuelli : nostalgia under the trial of time
Becoming an adult forces the confrontation to the second time of the oedipian conflict within a sequence implying some distance with the first love or hate objects. The outcome of the access to the adult stage and to the processes of sublimation depend on the quality of the psychological work over the links with the objects all along the stages going from latency to post-adolescence. A research on the elaboration of the depressive position at adolescence, starting from the rorschach and tat tests, shows that such an elaboration becomes possible only after adolescence as such.
françois richard : the adolescence process at the adult stage : the leopard woman case
Starting from the psychoanalytic cure of a young adult, this paper tries to delineate the traces of the passage towards the adult stage beyond adolescence. The patient is of an hysterical nature with a psychosomatic dimension and a tendency to actings. The cure enabled as a differed action the process of elaboration of puberty hindered afore.
The way the multifold infantile pregenital partial drives may be recaptured within a « polyphonic » genital synthesis is here studied. Adult subjectivization is fed with the closeness of the infantile sexual, the best way to avoid a defensive and unauthentic adult structuration would thus be to tolerate some part of childhood and adolescence in one self.
blandine foliot : some kind of disillusion
Beginning one’s adult life represents a true psychological turning point putting the ego to trial with some kind of disillusion, i.e. The loss of one’s infantile love object. The dream experience during that specific time exercizes some specific function which is essential and becomes some kind of new interior path, a royal path towards a return to drive and unconscious sources of a depressive disentanglement.
Thoughts, or thought moves, censored during day time are being visualized in dream, since experience allows, under the cover of some kind of conditioned deformation, their transposition into images which, with another transformation through their being updated when waking up, will be reshuffled and rehandled, insert themselves to the ego and to the psychological life whose limits they widen.
dominique agostini : about the internal divorce : impasse and overcoming
Through his clinical material of a therapy, the author will analyze, on the one hand, the impact of the puberty surge on internalization, far before puberty, of deeply disunited parents. On the other hand, the author will study the transformations which, vectorized by the therapeutic process, will indeeed preside to the reuniting of the internal parents. The author will develop that such a deep reconciliation is specifically fruitful for the adolescent process and has indeed an impact on its coming to be achieved, thus enabling the subject to begin his life as an adult.
The clinical study will pay a specific care to the separations during the holidays. Such holidays always represent, for the infantile parts, the parents’ sexual intercourses and the mother’s pregnancy. The clinical data will illustrate how such breaches in the therapeutic setting renew, with the internal divorce, « nameless agonies » colliding with the fantasy of « combined parents ». Both the internal divorce and the combined parents will appear as being the major obstacles to entering the adult life.
alain braconnier : beginning one’s adult life with an analytic cure
The factors differenciating the specificities of the intra psychological and interpersonal characteristics of the « young adult » as differenciated from those of the « adolescent » might be better understood with référence to the following questions : does offering a psychoanalytic cure to a « young adult » differ from starting a psychoanalytic cure with an « adolescent » ? Should the former have a « classical » cure cure which the latter would not undergo ? If such is the case, what would the arguments for and against be ?
philippe gutton : a metamorphosis is coming to an end
he beginning of adulthood is stressed by the capacity of the fantasy and desire of having a child and the art of becoming a parent. The adolescent able of betting a child represses or denies the incestuous representations on the edge liable to be associated to them. The author ponders, within such a background, over the pathological behaviours which such an approach is liable to lead to at adolescence.
philippe jeammet : being an adult or how to learn how to deal with the infantile
The swiftness of present social changes compel us to question what grounds the entrance into the adult world. To be an adult seems far more a new modality of psychological functioning, liable to quite a few unpredictable changes, rather than a state as such. Such a functioning does not so much refer to an absolute ideal than to the potentialities of a given subject within a given context. It would thus reside in this very capacity of the ego to welcome and be in contact with what remains of the infantile in everyone without being overwhelmed and threatened.
chantal frère-artinian : genocidio y trabajo de adolescencia.
El ejemplo de la narración de WahramAltounian, sobreviviente del genocidio Armeniano de 1915 y quién en aquella época tenía catorce años ; nos muestra, cómo un adolescente puede embarcarse en aquello que el autor denomina “ trabajo de adolescencia ” como forma particular de “ Kulturarbeit ” por la via original de una estrategia. La astucia.consiste en la mobilización masiva de la líbido para la autoconservación, apoyandose en la identificación paternal, y en una calidad de la percepción que identifica muy rapidamente el valor de utilidad para permitir la sobrevivencia de la realidad exterior, permitiendo a su vez al adolescente relanzar la operacionalidad de aquello que Kestemberg llama “ el organizador edípico ” Sin embargo, una parte traumática se queda enclavada puesto que no ha alcanzado la simbolización, guardando así una potencialidad melancólica.
