Family, place for enacting violence in adolescence - 2018.


23

This article presents data from a clinical research on violent acts on a family member in adolescence time, in support of the hypothesis according to which this type of violence testifies to the non-resolution of the Oedipal conflict and constitutes an attempt to put into sense the pathogenic family representations. A first stage of this work is devoted to theoretical contributions. A second part is based on the interpretation of projective test data (Rorschach and TAT) proposed to three teenagers, who perpetrated violence on a member of their family, in order to offer an understanding of the psychic processes involved in these individuals.
