The authors offer a critique of the notion of school phobia based on the multifamily group they have set up for adolescents who do not attend school and who resist treatment. They consider that this nosographic entity is both an obstacle to, and, paradoxically, a starting point for the elaboration of psychical conflicts. Their work shows the relevance of the multifamily approach to the treatment of out-of-school students at the middle and high school levels.
What importance should be given to external reality in our treatments of adolescent victims of sexual aggression? How can we dispense with it in our psychoanalytically-oriented treatments? Using a group treatment and an individual therapy, the author will show how adolescent victims of sexual violence can get beyond victim status rather than staying imprisoned in their pain or in eternal resentment.
