Vincent Di Rocco : « on the edge of the world ». psychotic processes and creative processes at the end of the adolescence

Through the case of Émétério, young schizophrenic and talented photographer, the author wishes to show the importance of links between dead ends of the subjectivation of the adolescent process and the emergence of psychotic states at the end of this period of existence. In the psychotherapeutic setting, artistic work and the dream-work join in an attempt at reflexive representation of the failed psychic processes. The clinical analysis concerns more specifically the dialectic of the processes called « borderline », oscillating between creation and erasure of the differential boundaries, in connection with the hypotheses of G. Lavallée regarding the break of the containing and subjectivating reflexive circle of vision. The author also makes the hypothesis that the fates of this work of construction and demolition arouse a particular interest in adults about the relationships the teenager weaves with creation and death.

Anouk Imhof : Thomas’ neverending story

The adolescence, period convenient to acting out because of the internal and external reorganizations of the subject, is a period of paradoxes : need of autonomy and dependence, activity and passivity. It is  difficult for some adolecents to be at the origin of a request of care which places them in a position of dependence to the adult-therapist. The forensic treatments, one of the protective measures for minors’ court use, allow to make compulsory for the adolescents to follow a psychic treatment. The article discusses the place of this measure in the adolesent’ care through a clinical vignette which describes a fifteen-year-old male adolescent, set in a symbiotic relation to his mother, victim of physical violence on behalf of his father in his childhood and who, having shown himself violent towards his mother, threatens to kill the social worker who ordered his fostering in a foyer. The forensic treatment in the adolescence : constraint or support ?

Yves Morhain, Emilie Morhain : adolescent creation

The creative work is at the center of the operation teenager, marked by the encounter with the opposite sex, the confrontation with the limits and narcissistic discomfort, but also disillusionment resulting from the promises and hopes childhood. This profound change opens the way for the creative act or creation. Emergence of originality, intense expression, the pursuit of ideals, exploring systems of thought, production of new cultural objects, care for staging, are characteristic lines of the artistic creation which meet in the process of creation of one that is the adolescence. The act of creation he would return to the process of adolescence as a paradigm of creative crisis ? Is it specific portion adolescent in order to bring the concerns and distractions of this period of life ?

François Richard : has the adolescent changed ? we have changed

This article considers the specificity of current adolescent pathologies (ways of functioning using unlimited primary processes, externalization of intrapsychical conflicts, recourse to the act, to violence and to self-calming excitation) from the perspective of the complexity of the Psyche, which is able to combine Oedipal drive conflict with the archaic problematic. These are the modalities of analytic work which must be investigated. Hypotheses about the intersubjective encounter in the session, and about a necessary overcoming of the opposition between narcissism and object relation, are offered in order to foster thinking about alterity.

Marie-Christine Aubray : letting oneself be surprised

The analyst, confronted with transference and counter-transference obstacles in treatments with adolescents who have great problems of subjectivation, may be led to readjust the therapeutic setting by receiving the parents from time to time with their adolescent. Within this multi-dimensional space, he may have the opportunity of being « surprised », transformed in his psychical functioning with a view towards restarting his subjectalizing function in his relation with the adolescent.

Ignacio Melo : the work of composition in consultations with adolescents

In this article I describe my way of practicing therapeutic consultations with adolescents, explicating it through four excerpts from interviews, in light of the reflection of some others who have helping my thinking. I speak of the conditions which have presided over the communication with my patient, particularly narcissistic identification. The central point of my technique is what I call the work of composition, which is defined as follows : the work of composition is a narration of diverse, elements sometimes unconscious, more often preconscious and manifest. It also establishes links between different regimes of functioning. A creation of the session, its components come indistinctly from the patient’s presentation or from the analyst’s thinking. The latter treats the narration in a propositional mode, tells the suffering in another way than in terms of symptoms, and does not aim to arrive at a profound truth. Concretely, this means that he must be ready to give up the narration if the patient judges it to be displaced or not useful. Its explicative character carries meaning, but this is not necessarily a causal hypothesis, and may take the form of enacting a conflict, or the formulation of a paradox. The composition is a narrative that can be infinitely rewritten, if necessary. If is also a proposition of a mode of functioning : various experiences, sources of pain or joy, sometimes contradictory or even paradoxical, can be recounted in a narration. And the analyst invites the patient to himself become a composer and, in so doing, to feel relief, or even to take pleasure in this. In this sense, composition is an instrument of transformation. I conclude by specifying that this work must lead to a deconstruction of bothersome functions, which are a source of suffering and hinder psychical development.

Guy Dana, Anne Tassel : une clinique non constituée

Dans un temps de mutation technologique l’adolescent contemporain fabrique de nouvelles modalités d’organisation intersubjectives  (SMS, chat, mail, réseaux, etc.) en produisant les figures multiples de ses nouveaux repères. L’auteure nous invite à suivre le moment chaotique de cette évolution, de façon fragmentaire, comme le propose le mode en rupture de l’abécédaire.

Anna Makerova : mots express montreuil – tcheliabinsk

À partir d’une enquête sociolinguistique auprès de jeunes montreuillois et ouraliens, fréquentant les studios de rap d’Île-de-France et de Tcheliabinsk (Russie), l’auteur met en évidence le fait que leurs pratiques langagières constituent des pratiques d’action. Celles-ci seraient liées au besoin de dénonciation et d’expression des mots ou maux vécus.

Florian Houssier : Sigmund Freud/Eduard Silberstein : une amitié passionnelle et consanguine

E. Silberstein est l’ami d’adolescence qui a marqué la vie de Freud, à partir des treize ans de ce dernier. Entre 1871 et 1881, la riche correspondance entre eux, fondée essentiellement sur les lettres de Freud, fait ressortir un portrait du jeune Freud ; contrairement à l’idée « officielle » d’une adolescence sans histoire, nous soutenons que cette relation a été marquée par des conflits sexuels intenses et une amitié passionnelle qui s’achèvera, comme bien d’autres amitiés masculines ultérieures, par une rupture du lien.
