GISLENE, Jardim. Adolescence: from the collective myth to the individual myth. []. , 11, 11, pp.35-46. ISSN 1413-666X.

This article deals with the relation between culture and subject in the adolescence through a conception of psychoanalysis, the Oedipus complex, as a structure. Adolescence is treated as a psychic operation which the subject comes across the phantasmal scene reconstruction due to the Oedipus complex. The strengthened of the social bond in the adolescence is seen as a consequence of the search of subject for new object relations that stimulate particular forms of psychopathologic symptoms.
