GURSKI, Rose et al. Psychoanalysis, Adolescence and the Social Bond: Notes on the Current Malaise in Education. Paidéia (Ribeirão Preto) [online]. 2025, vol.35, e3539.  Epub 16-Jan-2026. ISSN 0103-863X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1982-4327e3539.

This article examines aspects of the current grammar of unease among school-age adolescents and university students, a problem evident in increasing rates of psychological distress, suicide attempts, and school and university dropout in Brazil and Argentina. This work stems from the articulation of psychoanalysis, education, and social bond, aiming to explore intersections with sociopolitical dynamics and their implications for the educational field in these two Latin Americans countries. We seek to identify the ways in which educational discontent and the psychological suffering of adolescents and young people are linked to the dissolution of ties with the Other and to the absence of political imagination. We discuss concepts related to psychological constitution during adolescence and reflect on the effects of the current acceleration of time in producing unease among students. Our analysis contributes to develop potential strategies for teacher training in both schools and universities.
