Um adolescente e o abrigo: uma escuta psicanalítica

Abstract

This dissertation aims to defend the possibility of professional practice with psychoanalytic orientation in institutional reception for adolescents. The Brazilian legislation, since the Federal Constitution and the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, promotes rights to children and adolescents and protective measures are taken when there is a violation or a threat. Institutional reception is among these measures, in cases where there is a judicial evaluation of risk and broken or weakened family ties. An analysis will be made of how legislation and public politics have progressed to the present day and what challenges are present. The theme of adolescence is central in this discussion and will be treated under the historical-sociological and psychoanalytic perspectives, to understand how this notion gains relevance today. In addition, this stage will be highlighted as the unique course of each subject, a psychic reconfiguration of the symptom and the fantasy from the encounter with the impossible inherent to the sexual relation, that is, the perspective adopted is not confused with the physical-chemical maturation or chronological of the subject. It is hoped to address the importance of psychoanalytic listening, through the presentation of a case, in the context of the institution and what the consequences of the clinic in the scope of the politic. Taking each case as singular causes the universal dimension not to embody the normative order and allows each subject to place himself, in his own way, in the social bond
