COSTA, Juvaneide Régia; MEDEIROS, Cynthia Pereira de  and  RIBEIRO, Cynara Teixeira. Professional choice in adolescence: a psychoanalytic study. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp. 104-116. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v17i3.5924.

The profound transformation of political, economical and social order in capitalist and globalized societies generated by advances in science, electronics, computer and robotic industries are reflected in the collectivity and modes of organization of the world of work. Adolescents and young people are affected by these changes, presenting various psychical manifestations forward to choosing their professions, denouncing the malaise and suffering being experienced by them on the unpredictable change of the process and the expectations generated by it. This is a theoretical paper in which we articulate the difficulties and dilemmas that involve the professional choice in adolescence to unconscious psychic determinations of this process and the grief that the adolescent will need to do in order to be able to opt for a profession. From the Freudian and Lacanian framework, we performed a study of the concept of adolescence that articulated at the professional choice and fragments of clinical cases revealed the following conclusions: 1. In human choices are involved many psychological processes that started in childhood, in adolescence are updated, determining the choices of the adolescents, including their Professional ones; 2. The symbolic elaboration of separation from parents in childhood, and the grief related to loss and waivers related to bodily changes and infant objects, so that the adolescent can access their desire and support their possibility of choice; 3. Listening to the unconscious dimension present in the subject's choices in the professional field is essential to an analysis of the difficulties that have arisen therein to meet individual outputs to the same.
