Undifferentiation and melancholic loss of object in a young twin
Houssier, Florian
Undifferentiation and melancholic loss of object in a young twin - 2023.
11
Based on a unique consultation session with a young woman evoking her twin brother, we underline the notably melancholic hindrances of the work of separation in the context of the end of adolescence, opening up to a disengagement from the objects of primary love. This overall movement is often summarily named “separation”; we question by rebound the meaning of this term – used as a “cork word” bringing the illusion of a common, immediate and accurate comprehension – to replace it with the expression of differentiation/personalization.
