HENTZ, Rita  and  KUPERMANN, Daniel. The place attributed to parents in the adolescent's suffering. Trivium [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.2, pp. 3-20. ISSN 2176-4891.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18379/2176-4891.2021v2p.3.

Through a qualitative research, we sought to investigate where adolescents place parental figures in their psychological distress. Four young people aged between 16 and 19 participated in the study through an open interview and the material collected was analyzed using the Interpretive Analysis Method proposed by Frederick Erickson and interpreted from the psychoanalytic framework. The participants' narratives resulted in the development of the following assertions: "The confusion of languages between adolescents and their parents versus generational conflicts" and "The lack of significant relationships between peers in adolescence", providing a reflection on the relationships between parents and their adolescent children.

Keywords : ADOLESCENCE; PSYCHOANALYSIS; PARENTS; LANGUAGE CONFUSION; GENERATIONAL CONFLICTS.
