The concept of the bond is defined on the basis of the tertiary processes Green has studied. The « we » approaches the intersubjectal, widening this definition. The use of the terms psychopathology and psychotherapy of the bond is more clear. A clinical discussion by Marie-Christine Aubray follows.

Boris Cyrulnik : attachments and prohibitions
For Freud, infantile sexuality is the glue which binds the child to its parents. Many conflicts have been rooted in such a sexual relationship.
Attachment theory distinguishes between the sexual dynamic and the attachment dynamic.
This point of view is supported by recent ethnological evidence suggesting that attachment and sexuality are linked to the « International Working Model ».
It is mainly when attachment is insecure that sexuality is likely to develop in an unfortunate way*.*.
Eléana Mylona : the use of « tu » and « vous » : the « one » becomes « several »
Using the analytical treatment of Sabrina, with reference to the Oedipal model and the notion of the plurality of aspects of the subject, the authors attempt to show the binding that language accomplishes during psychical organization in adolescence, in order to suggest the operational and functional aspect of the adolescent’s narrative. This rational narrative is defensive, both against infantile sexuality and against the disintrication of the drives, while allowing the adolescent to regain access to negation and judgment of truth as he acquires a certain degree of independence from the pleasure principle and also from repression.
This proposal will be supported by the passage from the use of « tu » to the use of « vous » in adolescence : the moment when « one » becomes « several ».
Denis Lafortune : « aimed for the black one, killed the white one », false allegations of incest from the perspective of intergenerational transmissions
A substantial number of sexual abuse allegations proves to be false when the investigation is concluded. Close to 35% of the allegations carried in a family or almost family context (that is to say the step-families) are judged ungrounded. This article is dedicated to the allegations of a fifteen year teenager that will prove to be false as for the gestures assigned to the father, but nevertheless revealing of some family truths. From this disturbing clinical situation, we will propose some reflections about the truth to the sense of sincerity, the truth to the sense of probability, reality testing, intergenerational transmissions and acting-out as critical moment for the activity of representation, not only of the teenager but also of her parents*.*.
Gianluigi Monniello : destinies of violence in an outpatient hospital
In an outpatient hospital, the destinies of violence and its different manifestations depend on the support offered by the therapist, the group of caregivers and the containing institutional setting, which can provide models for symbolization.
The detailed description of the treatment of Ennio, a violent adolescent, give an illustration of the primary therapeutic aim, which is the interiorization of the containing function of the outpatient hospital, considered as a transferential community where tranferences are deployed in an inter-subjective dimension.
Marion Minerbo : cão-terapeutas
This is the narrative of an analysis that was made possible when my dogs became part of the transferential field. It helps us to problematize the idea of a setting established from outside the analytical process, that is, without taking into consideration the transferential diagnosis.
Olivier Ouvry : the « we » and the appearance of the subject
Starting with the question of adolescent subjects’ engagement in psychotherapeutic work, we will investigate the passage from preliminary interviews to those wherein effective work is done, through two dialectical points: the intervention of a third instance in the apparent duality of the psychotherapeutic interview, and the passage from « one » to « we » in the patient’s language, grammatically careless, but which we have found to signify the appearance of the subject.
Alain Juranville : the other, sex, and philosophical knowledge
Here we discuss, in the name of psychoanalysis, the conception of alterity in the work of Emmanuel Lévinas and highlight what is definitive in it. We situate ourselves not with regard to psychoanalysis, but with regard to philosophy when it takes up the fundamental hypothesis (the unconscious). We show how, for alterity itself, the affirmation of philosophical knowledge, but of a knowledge that heralds the unconscious, and its reality, sex, becomes essential. It then appears that any truth contained in three revelations – Christian, Jewish and Moslem – must come from this knowledge.
Marieke Wolf : preadolescence, sexual difference and latency in comic strips and cartoons
What is it in the comic strip « Titeuf » and the cartoon « South Park » that makes adults laugh so much ?
Children in the latency period and preadolescents are the heros of this cartoon and recall to the adult, through their « suggestive remarks », the evolution of infantile sexuality and the question of sexual difference.
Serge Tisseron : how to help adolescents not to be duped by images
The tendency to believe in images is fundamental to psychical life. However, images – especially violent ones – can suggest models, but are by themselves unable to impose the desire to correspond to them. They are most often sought for their power of figuring, as much in the domain of body states and archaic imagery as of day-to-day emotions that are sometimes difficult to represent.
Adolescents spontaneously use three complementary means of managing the malaise provoked in them by violent images : language, interior representations and corporal representations. These three means are the key to education with images.
