Affiliation is inscribed structurally in the filiative construction of each person. The adolescent crisis is familial and thus implies that the different actors in the process should not be isolated. The Institution, as a specific place for the deposit and projection of inter- and trans-subjective problematics, enables work on the phoric function leading to work of transformation and appropriation.

Do the infrequent consultations of young adults belong to the field of psychoanalysis? Do they already set in motion the play of transference and countertransference? What about the fact that the analyst accepts not to transform of this type of treatment into an analysis? Following upon Freud’s Studies of Hysteria, these interviews require and give rise to genuine work of sublimation on both sides, and thus appear as a succession of micro-analyses.

Using the term “openness” the author will focus his reflection (illustrated by two clinical vignettes) on the conditions that can foster the engagement of older adolescent patients in psychotherapeutic work. To protect against the fear of submission on the one hand, and the fear of loss of identity on the other, the analyst’s overture to a certain measure of flexibility concerning the setting, while maintaining his neutrality, helps establish of useful distance, both for the analyst and the patient.

This article presents the beginnings of the treatment of an adolescent who has experienced early trauma. The disconuity reestablished from the very start of treatment by repeated absences will bring the analyst face to face with the primary object relations. Constant disruption of, or even attacks on, the setting will have to be constructed around the patient’s psychic possibilities.

The beginnings of adolescent treatments must take into account how difficult it is for them to invest in speech directed at the analyst, and the perpetual crisis state they are living in when they cannot rely on personal corporal representations and when no internal conflict organization has been able to form. The two-stage clinical history of a long treatment through therapeutic consultations illustrates this double process.

The Center for Psychoanalysis of ASM 13 is part of a district psychiatric facility specialized in non-neurotic pathologies. This particularity has caused it to develop distinct treatment techniques and to elaborate certain theoretical concepts (transference investment, third party, interpretation of function or process…) that take into account the necessity of adapting the psychoanalytic approach when using it with this type of patient.

The beginnings of adolescent and young adult treatments are tested by transference feelings that are highly mobilized from the outset. Drive excitation and ambivalence characterize the analytical situation and the resistances reinforced by the fear of betraying primal love objects. The treatment of a twenty-three years old obsessive man, examined in the light of the Rat Man case, supports this hypothesis.

À partir de rencontres cliniques avec des artistes contemporains (ici Boris), nous explorons la place du corps dans la création, à travers la notion de rythme. Le rythme ne se résoudrait ni à la rythmicité, ni au tempo, ni à la métrique seuls, mais serait un témoignage de l’incarnation du mouvement interne. C’est dans son incarnation que ce rythme existe, arrimé au corps pulsionnel dont il est l’expression. L’œuvre créée vient s’en faire l’écho.

Une analyse de la notion de subjectivation, selon R. Cahn (2016), est proposée à partir d’une pratique psychanalytique dans un Centre pour adolescents qu’il a créé (le Cerep). La notion d’état limite est redéfinie en référence à l’adolescence par l’incapacité d’accéder à la position de sujet de sa propre expérience psychique en termes d’être. En découle une conception renouvelée de la pratique psychanalytique qui est précisée, justifiée et distinguée de certaines dérives contemporaines.

Ce texte cherche à discerner les conditions d’intelligibilité de l’émergence du fanatisme islamiste en Europe. La fascination exercée par l’islamisme sur le Vieux Continent désigne ici conjointement l’attraction pour le djihad et la cécité intellectuelle devant le phénomène. Ce symptôme du contemporain fait l’objet d’une interprétation axée sur les effets de « vérité historique » convoqués chez les peuples concernés, tout en interrogeant les enjeux posés au travail de culture des hommes.
