Los adolescentes viven el horror de la explotación sexual, y esas son las imágenes que se manifiestan en la clínica y convocan a los psicoanalistas de recurrir a sus fundamentos teóricos. Ellas gritan para expresar el horror que ellas viven ocupando el lugar de la escena fantasiosa. Las instituciones educativas y de cura ponen resistencia a acogerles y escucharles. ¿Cuál es la responsabilidad ética de los psicoanalistas en esta escucha?
This article presents the treatment of an adolescent boy grappling with the repercussions of a sexual assault he sufferedat a time when he was placed in care. The authors show the impact of traumas on the process of subjectivation, while emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the trauma, in order to enable gradual access to subjectivation.
Adolescents experience the horror of being sexually exploited. And these are the images that appear in treatment and call out to psychoanalysts at the very foundations of their theory. They cry out to express the horror of the experience, taking the place of the fantasy scene. Educative and healthcare institutions resist receiving and hearing them. What is the ethical responsibility of psychoanalysts in this listening?
The authors suggest that the notion of abuse be divided into three different modes frequently encountered in treatment: abusing, being abused, and abusing oneself. What makes adolescents abuse? Whom do they inevitably abuse? And when the scenario is turned back against themselves, by what or by whom are they now being abused? This article invites analysts to think about their own potential for abuse, enacted in the violence of interpretation.
Les suivis cliniques au sein d’un service de gynécologie-obstétrique auprès de jeunes femmes d’origine africaine, victimes d’excisions et de mariages forcés, permettent à celles-ci de retracer leurs vécus traumatiques les ayant conduites à s’exiler. À travers ce travail d’historicisation et d’élaboration visant à atténuer les effets post-traumatiques, il s’agit de discerner, au-delà des motifs conscients et impératifs stricts de survie, le rôle joué par des mouvements pulsionnels inconscients qui ont participé chez ces adolescentes de l’impulsion au départ de leur milieu familial et culturel.
Des adolescentes vivent l’horreur de l’exploitation sexuelle. Et ce sont les images qui se manifestent dans la clinique et convoquent les psychanalystes aux fondements même de leur théorie. Elles crient pour exprimer l’horreur qu’elles vivent, prenant la place de la scène fantasmatique. Les institutions éducatives et soignantes résistent à les accueillir et à les entendre. Quelle responsabilité éthique des psychanalystes dans cette écoute ?
The addiction object is presented as a psychical operator of subjective experience. The logic of addiction functions against a background of trauma. Through the rhythm, the cadence, of substance use, the early dysrhythmias that cause feelings of impingement can be regulated. In the psychic configurations presented here, addiction is not merely a quest for pleasure; it is positioned as a regulator of sensorial and drive activity.
The unprecedentedness of the Covid pandemic helped to we psychic resistances, often revealing traumatic experiences that had been hidden until now. In this context, the traumatic experience has been called forth by three factors: the effect of the lockdowns, the omnipresence of digital technology, lastly the general use of remote consultations in mental health care. We will discuss this multiple calling forth of the traumatic in light of what is understood about the adolescent process.
The lockdowns due to Covid-19 led to a sharp increase in hospitalizations of adolescents for severe anorexia. Though the clinical profile was typical, the investment of hospitalization and treatment was quite unusual. The investment of a space of one’s own enabled a resumption of boundary-work, restoring the differentiation between fantasy and reality, allowing a process of subjectal appropriation to resume, and putting at a distance the traumatic invasion and the oral regression provoked by the pandemic.
