Some difficult adolescents who have trouble finding their place (“mésinscrits”) will call into question their relationship with therapeutic mediation frameworks, which will oblige us to listen to them in a way that is especially attuned to potential play. Studying a case using treatment through the mediation of theater enables the author to define the specular games typically engaged in by adolescents “at the limits” of their subjectivation process. Finally, the author emphasizes the importance of play for the institutional treatment of adolescents who have trouble finding their place.

Tamara Guénon : jouer avec les limites à l’adolescence
Certains adolescents mésinscrits vont interroger dans leur rapport au cadre de ces dispositifs à médiation et obligent à déployer une écoute spécifique des jeux potentiels. L’étude d’un cas en médiation thérapeutique par le théâtre nous permet de définir les jeux typiques spéculaires engagés par les adolescents « aux limites » de leur processus de subjectivation. Nous soulignons enfin l’importance du jeu sur le cadre dans la prise en charge institutionnelle des adolescents mésinscrits.
Julie Vanhalst, Élise Vandermarlière: adolescent prostitution and institutional control
Using experience in a center for adolescent girls who engage in prostitution, the authors offer some thoughts about what happened at the institutional level. They investigate the relationships between control, the institution and the social meta-framework, and suggest that the particular place of these adolescent attacks on the adolescent body be understood in relation to past traumatic experiences.

Julie Vanhalst, Élise Vandermarlière : prostitution adolescente et emprise institutionnelle
À partir d’une expérience d’accueil d’adolescentes ayant des pratiques prostitutionnelles, les auteures proposent une réflexion depuis ce qui s’est déployé sur la scène institutionnelle. Elles interrogent les rapports entre l’emprise, l’institution et le métacadre social et invitent à entendre la place particulière de ces attaques du corps adolescent en lien avec des expériences traumatiques antérieures.

The time of tomorrow. Institution, environment
The article addresses the way that adolescents imagine the future with regard to the present, and take ownership of the present time through contemporary environmental problems. By means of two clinical vignettes, the authors will attempt to show how adolescents apprehend the end of the world: planet and institution are brought together. What capacities do adolescents have to project themselves into the future, based on the things that have been handed down to them and their ability to transform these things?

Le temps de demain. Institution, environnement
Dans cet article est abordée la manière dont les adolescents imaginent l’avenir en regard du présent, et s’approprient le temps à travers les problèmes actuels liés à l’environnement. À partir de deux vignettes cliniques, les auteurs cherchent à montrer comment les adolescents appréhendent la fin d’un monde : un rapprochement est opéré entre planète et institution. Quelles sont leurs capacités à se projeter, en fonction des transmissions et de leurs possibilités de les transformer ?

Stéphane Saint-André, Stéphane Laplace, Thibaut Lebailly: the seeds of violence
The concept of the difficult adolescentenables us to escape from the nosographic trap of attributing the causes of violence solely to the one who commits it. Considering the question of the bond offers the possibility for a complex critical analysis of environmental factors, especially institutional ones, that contribute to violence. By discounting the relational, institutional administrations contribute to the reification of the subject, making both the public and professionals more vulnerable. As secret accomplices to violence, institutions reap what they sow.

Sébastien Chapellon: violence in teamwork
An adolescent may transfer his own inner disorganization onto the people around him, causing misunderstandings and tensions to emerge among them. The problematic that the adolescent is unconsciously asking them to harbor may induce great interpersonal violence, with the risk of shattering institutional bonds. Several examples will shed light on the intersubjective mechanisms at work in this phenomenon.

Sophie Kecskeméti: civil war
After more than seventy years of peace in western Europe, one may wonder what becomes of destructiveness in such unprecedented conditions. Perhaps we are witnessing what might be likened to “civil wars”: suicides, family break-ups, the policing of civilian life. After presenting two clinical vignettes, one illustrating intrafamilial wars, the other illustrating institutional wars, the author will compare these two forms and offer some considerations about the difference between individual and group passages to the act.

Stéphane Saint-André, Stéphane Laplace, Thibaut Lebailly : les graines de la violence
Le concept d’adolescent difficile permet de sortir du piège nosographique consistant à rejeter les causes de la violence sur son seul auteur. La dimension du lien offre une analyse complexe et critique des déterminants environnementaux, notamment institutionnels, de la violence. En évacuant la relation, des gouvernances institutionnelles contribuent à réifier le sujet, vulnérabilisant les publics comme les professionnels. Sécrétrices de violence, les institutions la récolteraient ainsi en retour.
