Abstract

CARDOSO, Bruno Cavaignac Campos  and  AMPARO, Deise Matos do. For sensitive listening: the scarification in adolescence as a multifaceted phenomenon. J. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.101, pp. 221-237. ISSN 0103-5835.

The scarification is the ones behavior to hurt himself without a conscientious intention of committing suicide or performing a sexual perversion act. Recently, it has been identified the increscent of such habits, which are frequently associated to the adolescence period. This article aims to contribute to the psychoanalytical view about the self-injury on adolescence period, seeking to contemplate this phenomenon metapsychology and its clinical specificity. Therefore, we interviewed adolescents who cut themselves and used some interviews excerpts. In general, the practice of self-injury relates itself to an intricate associative chain, in which the meaning of the cut often eludes those who cut themselves. The cutting function is miscellaneous. Often, the self-injury relates itself to trauma affects and symbolization defects; to narcissus-identitary flaws; to the eroticized aggression drive breakthrough to the body; to the "cut" of suffering, by transforming it into physical pain; among other possibilities. In order to work with such issues, it is suggested that the clinical intervention be "made to measure" for each one attended, as it is recommended to the clinicians to be sensitive on their listening of the cutting psychodynamics and its latent meanings.

Keywords : scarification; self-mutilation; self-injury; self-harm; adolescence.
