Partiendo de la definición de irrompible en la literatura especializada, el autor, centra su atención en los resortes pulsionales de los comportamientos violentos y sociales de aquellos jóvenes que viven al margen del sistema médico socia. El cruza una reflexión metapsicológica sobre el traumatismo y un caso clínico que ilustra de manera singular las perturbaciones de un trayecto de vida sembrado de espinas. Nos atestigua de las esperanzas y de los límites de un trabajo sicoterapéutico llevado a cabo en ambulatorio.
Para luchar contra el mal del radicalismo, se requiere no solamente encarcelar a los djihadistas – así sea una respuesta necesaria – la cual no es un respuesta social que tiene su importancia para sacar a los jóvenes de sus barrios de miseria. Es necesario también de acentuar la vigilancia hacia la enfermedad de idealización y de desorganización de los adolescentes y responder a la necesidad de creer que ellos tienen, para que la seducción de las religiones no se constituya en amenaza para el humanismo.
Cuando abordan las nuevas formas de destructividad en los adolescentes dichos “indestructibles”, los autores sostienen un enfoque pluridisciplinario para el tratamiento. Según ellos, es crucial de tener en cuenta no solamente los síntomas si no también su trayectoria de vida, sus carencias y sus frustraciones, sin olvidar sus deseos y sus fantasías. De este modo se puede conservar una imprenta de sus capacidades para contenerse y de la elaboración de los adultos que han encontrado durante su trayectoria en la cura.
We will try to show that the clinical treatment of hallucinations in adolescence, often pigeonholed as “symptoms of psychotic processes,” is situated at the borders of the process of subjectivation that is restarted and overhauled at this age. Looking at two situations, we explore this clinical area and what it can teach us about the current subjectivities, beyond the Oedipal norm.
We approach the issue of the unplaceable adolescent from the perspective of a paradox, speaking of the necessary quest to be named by another; this will establish one as a subject. Treating adolescents at Youth Legal Protection, we are confronted with the violence of repetition, but also with powerlessness and confusion. It is essential that the hate of the transference – and in the transference – be heard in order to understand what is at stake for the adolescent relegated to this position of excluded object.
Freud exhorts us to be organized for death in order to endure life. When faced with death, the refugee subject tries to reorganize his psychic life, to imaginarily reconstruct an identity shaken by trauma. But faced with the malaise brought on by war, he resists, seeking refuge in any expression of the negative.
In narcissistic and psychotic pathologies in adolescence, group psychoanalytic psychodrama uses play to foster the decline of omnipotence and the rise of ambiguity. It thus opens the way towards transitionality. This article reports a session of group psychodrama in the course of which there is an attempt to contain and give figuration to incestual and murderous actings. We discuss therapeutic issues when faced with this murderous hatred directed at the psychodrama-object.
We explore the issue of dropping out of school at the onset of adolescence with regard to the pubertary process that is starting, at the crossroads where a depressive core meets an “original” rereading of founding fantasies. The co-construction of subject and environment seems central here, as it summons up the dimension of the link, even if only to undermine it. A clinical vignette will illustrate our argument and allow us to explore the hypothesis that what causes the hitch at the start of adolescence is related to homoeroticism that has been called up again and will have to be overhauled.
Within the penal system we meet adolescents who have committed acts of violence in other institutional settings. Their traumatic past is not unrelated to their present-day actings. Incapable of articulating a request for help, they shun the treatment services that are supposed to receive them – or is it the other way around? Within the judicial system, the clinician can set up a treatment arrangement that can tame the link and gradually enable the patient to ask for help.
Some adolescents who have been placed in or oriented towards an institution present violent actings inside it. Rather than considering that they are not suited for any institution, we will show that an original rejection in their history prevents them from living inside an institution. Though history did not have a warm welcome in store for them, the institution can get the welcoming dimension working again as a therapeutic act.
