"ESTRUCTURACION ANTISOCIAL DE LA PERSONALIDAD ADOLESCENTE"

Dra. Hebe A. Abrines de Sanvittori - Dr. Guido M. Arrigazzi - Buenos Aires- Argentina

Our daily work, dedicated to the study and comprehension of the violence in adolescents with serious antisocial behavior, allow us to postulate that reiterative traumatic circumstances -during the early childhood- promote incomplete and difficult delays in the psychic constitution and development.

This matter settles a disagreement because the “acting-out” is facilitated and joined by a muscle hyper-ability (well shown by the violent adolescents).

These features are connected with a stressed absence in the pre-conscious thought and in the normative functions (ego and super-ego deficit).

It would be seen disturbances in the “second individuation” processes (Blos, P) because these adolescents replace the lost contact with their childhood internal objects by a polarization in the external world. By this way they avoid the essential psychic transformations through a runaway to the adult roles assumption (juvenile delinquency).
