Abstract

GARCIA, Joana; FERREIRA, Ana Lucia  and  CARDOSO, Marta Rezende. Neglected adolescence: multiple views. Desidades [online]. 2021, n.31, pp. 38-52. ISSN 2318-9282.

In this article, adolescence is presented from the multiple dimensions that characterize it, based on formulations from different but complementary disciplinary fields on this life experience. Adolescent protection is considered a collective attribution, including, in addition to self-protection, a broad relational and institutional set with its differentiated, necessary and desirable resources to ensure quality of life. Focusing on neglect, in its different figures, adolescence is explored in its relational dimension, according to the perspective of three areas: medicine, social work and psychoanalysis. The article ends with a report produced by the authors, inspired by the daily demands of a health unit, involving an adolescent subjected to different forms of neglect, a reflection in which the richness of an interdisciplinary analysis on the themes explored is highlighted.

Keywords : violence; neglect; adolescent; trauma; risk factors.
