Abstract: Aim: This research clears editorial structures of the Internet messages answered by the professionals of the Centre of Study and Prevention of the Suicide (CEPS) of Geneva. These messages were left by teenagers on the site of questions-answers http://www.ciao.ch and hit on depression and/or suicide. Subjects and methods: Study was accomplished from 265 messages, posted by 168 internauts. Messages were treated by CEPS after a sorting of the administrators of the site. The analysis of the contents of messages was produced by software ALCESTE. Results: The analysis allowed clearing three axles of writing of messages: a descriptive axle, an emotional axle and a relational axle. These three axles are mostly present at the same time in messages, even if certain of them have a more marked tonality than others. Conclusion: Job on Internet represents a true challenge for the professionals of CEPS. Not only they have to make with the relational borders which the young persons impose, but messages being very fragmented in their contents, the clinical analysis of the purposes of the teenagers is based on very numerous hypotheses which it is impossible to prove. Then, this job is meant to be exploratory and it allows laying the foundations for a deeper cogitation on the activity of the collaborators of CEPS on the http://www.ciao.ch site.

Abstract: The aim of this article is to point out the interest of the existence of a projection wall in care unit welcoming suicide adolescents. Indeed, such “tag wall” makes it possible for those young to restart the system to think thoughts (in reference to Bion''s theory). A psychical work of reintegration of components of the psyche, of attitude, starts with the writing, in a narcissistic axis. However, in a most object axis, the adolescent projects himself onto the others, identify himself with, and differentiate himself from them. The wall therefore pretends to be a surface that symbolically makes part of the real scene and of the psychical one. So the writing endorses a cathartic function and finds its place in the care system, enabling adolescents to think themselves. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
