MANO, Gustavo Caetano de Mattos. Introductorial notes on psychological processes in childhood and adolescence. Estilos clin. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.3, pp. 446-460. ISSN 1415-7128.

Clinical practice with children and adolescents keeps releasing questions that renew psychoanalysis. As so, the present essay offers an introductory approach on childhood and youth based on Jacques Lacan's logical time. Working with the lacanian concepts of instant to see, time to understand and moment to end, the authors displace childhood and adolescence, taking it from the status of development stages to conceive them as psychological processes. From that point, the authors debate the matter of structuration, considering, in order to do so, the master-significants reference that guide psychoanalytic psychopathology.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; childhood; adolescence; structuration.
