<br/><br/> Based on two clinical examples, the author addresses the case of the adolescent who in his relationship to himself and to the other, the analyst, chooses a kind of screen that makes him believe that he can escape the gaze, the voice that disturbs his inner experience. He will settle into a self-silence, usually behind a flood of words. The analyst's interpretive work will have to confront this specifically by providing as long as proves necessary a capacity to wait and listen for what seems to be there, in the young person, as the only way of relating not experienced as an intrusion into the secret world of inner experience.
