520 _aMania poses the question of the object’s status and its fate. Whereas the object is at the heart of mourning and even moreso of melancholy, mania makes the object disappear and disdains it, replacing it with a triumphant ego who refuses to offer it any place or any cathexis. Causing object hatred to reappear, the manic state, when it assumes control at adolescence, attests to the difficulty of decathexis of œdipal objects. Taking the case of an adolescent girl who hates her father, the different unconscious meanings of this hatred are explored. Revealing the incestuous fixation to the paternal object, hate also acquires its meaning in a preœdipal link to the maternal object which must not be lost at any cost. But at the same time, hate is also a separating affect, aiming at disjoining itself from the object to establish the frontiers of the ego, still susceptible to being invaded by the object. When manic hatred appears at adolescence, it testifies to the difficult introjection of œdipal objects and the fear of totally losing them in the separation process.
