A The contribution of psychoanalysis to the understanding of psychosis in adolescence and to the issue of school inclusion of the psychotic subject

Abstract

This article looks at the contribution of psichoanalysis to the understanding of psychoses in adolescence and to the issue of school inclusion of the psychotic subject, from a case study of an adolescent with psychosis in the state education network of Rio de Janeiro. Case analysis in the light of psichoanalysis allows us to outline the effects of this practice on the construction of forms of social linkage, recognition and identity, within the space of transference, as well as creation of new modes of symbolic operation, through a think in images, whose figurability can be interpreted as a saying that seeks to elaborate the condition of the subject of the adolescent in question.
