MOURA, Fernanda Costa. Adolescence: effects of science over the subject. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2005, vol.17, n.2, pp. 113-125. ISSN 0103-5665.

The present paper focuses on the manifestations of the so called adolescence crisis related to the contemporary social order, to analyze the effects of science on the field of the subject. Starting with the exam of the transformations science imposes to language and taking language as constitutive of the subject, the paper approaches some frequent issues of the psychoanalytical clinic held with adolescents - such as the difficulties with otherness, or the subjective position of the young towards sex and death. The relationship those issues might have with the operations performed by science which transform the order of discourse is discussed.
