Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Adriana Maria Nagalli de. Touching life with our fingers: reciprocity in the clinic with adolescents. J. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.98, pp. 81-93. ISSN 0103-5835.

In this article, the author treats reciprocity as the reverberation between analyst and patient, focusing on psychoanalytic work with adolescents. She understands that it is in adolescence that confusions are most intensely activated. The need to remove the authority of external parents is confused with the fall of internal parents, which triggers the need for introjective identification - a process that, in turn, appears in the attachment to social figures, such as musicians, sportspeople and cultural groups. The ideas developed here are based on the concept of aesthetic reciprocity (Meltzer, 1992; 1995), culminating in expansions on the processes of identification and introjection, which take place exactly in this reciprocal exchange.

Keywords : aesthetic reciprocity; introjection; projection; alpha function; symbolization.
