TOROSSIAN, Sandra Djambolakdjian. Adolescents trajectory in drug addiction construction. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.1, pp. 123-136. ISSN 1677-1168.

This article discusses drug-addiction construction with basis on adolescent drug-users’ demands. It emphasizes the existence of different logics of drug addiction, presenting various psychic problems. It and is based on the concepts developed by Rassial (1999), concerning adolescent operation, and by Le Poulichet (1990), about the different psychic logics found in drug addictions. It also focuses on the transformation of drug into toxic substance, associated to the different possibilities and places that drugs produce in the psyche. Besides, the meaning that those products have to adolescent subjects, be it a symptom addressed to the other or a form of defense in face of a threat of subjective annihilation, is also taken into account. Two clinical cases illustrate the text.
