El artículo trata de como la irrupción de la especie, durante la pubertad, repercute en el individuo. Después de haber constatado los cambios aportados por Freud a la concepción darwiniana sobre la especie ; la dialectica individuo-especie, es explorada a partir del caso de Victor, un adolescente en terapia. Entonces, son analisados los vínculos a la transgeneracionalidad y al grupo que, por sus carácteres colectivos pueden ser considerados como los equivalentes psíquicos de la especie para el individuo. La llama de la existencia, sin embargo, se perenisa en forma de fantasmas de transmisión y de generación; sobre todo cuando además de la diferencia de generaciones puede también admitirse la diferenciación entre los sexos y la finitud del individuo.
The article deals with the way in which the eruption of the species during puberty is echoed in the individual subjectivity of the adolescent. After observing the upheavals Freud caused in the Darwinian conception of species, we explore the dialectic between individual and species through the case of Victor, an adolescent in therapy. We analyze transgenerational and group bonds which, because of their collective character, may be considered as psychical equivalents of species for the individual. The flame of existence nonetheless is eternalized in the form of fantasies of transmission and of generation, when in addition to the difference of generations, the difference between the sexes and finiteness of the individuals can be accepted.
Family consultations with the L. family revealed how adolescent processes constitute a sort of vector which gives shape to different drive activity within the family. Analysis of the family’s psychical metabolism, sibling disputes, the impact of inter-generational, transgenerational, and extra-familial conflicts, showed that the adolescent processes in Thomas, Mme. L.’s thirteen year-old son from a previous marriage, exercised a kind of attraction over the family’s implicit violence. The inner rupture of development in the young teenager also causes a rupture of unconscious alliances among the members of this family.
