Les adolescents vulnérables et les soins avec médiation thérapeutique : Le Photolangage©.

Psychological care for vulnerable adolescents poses multiple challenges, both in terms of the working conditions of elaboration (extreme situation of the psyche; effects of the traumatic) and in terms of the handling of the framework (need for diffraction). Psychoanalytic group work with mediations by mobilizing countenance, creativity and sharing allows to reconnect with new alliances likely to create favorable conditions of subjective appropriation carrying creativity in adolescence. The mediation of Photolangage© is particularly welcomed to the adolescence facing with borderline situations (cas-limites) in terms of psychic care (adolescents in school withdrawal, in objectal investment breakdown), where the capacity to associate is impossible. Indeed, each participant relies on figurability and a form of scenography as its photo is presented in a group setting, generating an interphantasmatic activity, an area of play that mobilizes a form of malleability, which is a source of reconnection of the mental spaces often disconnected in these teenagers. To discuss the role of group dynamics and Photolanguage© mediation, the authors have chosen to present the clinical case of a teenager participating in an Adolescents House (Maison des Adolescents) care device.
