Abstract
The scientific tradition has found an explanation for the drug consumption in the adolescence, in the endocrine transformation and in the environmental conditions, opening the door to a treatment where the subjectivity has hardly been read as such. The following research proposes to understand adolescence as the process that begins at puberty, reactivates the infantile conflicts of the subject, thus demanding a psychic reorganization leading to its subjectivation; situating from this viewpoint, the consumption of drugs as a possibility to mourn or not that kind of situation.
Translated title of the contribution | The consumption of drugs as a narcissistic support in the adolescence |
