520 _aThe author offers a theoretical reflection based on the clinical situations of young adult patients, for whom a center of gravity does not seem to have formed sufficiently. According to Freud’s metaphor, the superego, like a precipitate in the ego, would constitute this anchoring point. The gravity that is lacking would be in relation to a superego with little structuring coming into conflict with a weakened ego. The prohibition on the ego to conduct experiences that would not be up to the contradictory and disproportionate demands of the superego, resulting from primary and secondary identifications constituting the superego, would block the possibilities of new release and investment at the end of adolescence. The therapeutic work, in the form of interventions, constructions, and interpretations, aims at the same time to ensure stable superego positions since they are more coherent, while promoting a certain flexibility between the pre-oedipal and oedipal superego, and between the ego and the superego. Analysis can contribute to reinforcing this “point of a body situated in such a way that a force applied at this point will keep the body in balance”, avoiding this “unbearable lightness of being” without gravity.
