It denies the subjectivity of whoever has to bear it, but reflects mirrorlike a threat on the subfectivy of whoever enacts it. Thus it may be considered as a primary defence reaction from a threatened identity. The experience of institutional life in psychiatry as well as the psychotherapies of subjects suffering from behaviour disorders are a priviledged place to study the latter one.

JEAMMET PHILIPPE : LOS RITOS A LA ADOLESCENCIA
Los ritos de iniciación son característicos de la adolescencia y entre los más organizados que existen, ponen en juego el cuerpo y todo lo relacionado con la sexualidad. Los ritos corresponden a una habilitación de las amenazas que pesan sobre un individuo y sobre un grupo. Son hechos para apoyar a la persona e integrarla en el mundo de los adoults. Deben, por su propia ambigüedad responder a esta situación paradójica, siendo ellos mismos los que pidan lo que en realidad los otros imponen. Permiten una co-creación por el grupo y el individuo de un espacio común de mediación. Evitan así la potencial violencia de la confrontación narcisista de los territorios. Se expresan por el actuar pero dan el paso a una confianza compartida, fundamento de la simbolización.

Their very ambiguity illustrates a paradoxal situation, that of the subject requesting what is in fact imposed upon him by others. They enable the co-creation of a common space of mediation by the group and the individual, thus avoiding the potential violence of a narcissistic clash over territories. Their meaning is expressed through performance but they open up the path to a shared trust, the bedrock of symbolization.
