Sylvia or the need for narcissistic unity: about the “feeling of existence” in adolescence - 2024.
46
This article proposes a reflection concerning the embrittlement of the “feeling of existence” in adolescence. From the psychotherapy of an adolescent girl followed in a Psycho-Medical Center, from her massive withdrawal, emerges in negative a defensive dimension: that of an object unceasingly reduced and brought back to a state of non-existence to preserve the narcissistic unity. There follows the study of a transference that allows the reconstruction of a renewal, of a psychic place, from a shared unthought and unthinkable. After the search for a libidinal neutralization, an opening is allowed by the processes of phantasmatization. These processes remobilize the original and organizing fantasies, notably in what the dominance of an anguishing primitive scene does to the feeling of existence, in order to finally make the object exist again in a different way.
