Violence as an Expression of Adolescent Malaise
Marty, François
Violence as an Expression of Adolescent Malaise - 2010.
78
In this paper, the author conceives of violence at adolescence as the expression of a malaise specific to this age, wherein the subject finds themselves prey to feelings of persecution. He thus distinguishes between “ordinary adolescent paranoia”–paranoia which marks the “normal” entry into the pubertal Oedipus complex–and paranoia in the strict sense, a pathology which appears in adulthood. Lastly, he recalls the role of the environment in its capacity to suppose the adolescent’s destructive attacks.
