GUTTON PHILIPPE

ADOLESCENCE UNMASKED

 

»The positions commonly designated as perverse « (Freud) are seldom transitory lasting organisations, definitive of the pubertaire. The author argues that perversions have their origin in the pubertaire. They come from a disavowal of otherness specifically as it is symbolized in the « third party « or parental subject of the transference that ordinarily presides in adolescence. The result of this is the repetition of a brute genitality (or of its derivatives : addiction, certain eating disorders and violent behaviours), which is unelaborated and allied with the drive to control. The emancipation of the Superego submits the adolescent to the collective Superego and to ideologies that confront and judge him.»
