[The attachment formed in addictive behaviors during the adolescent process]. / L'attachement noué dans les conduites addictives lors du processus adolescent.

At the heart of the knotting of an addiction during the adolescent process is the possibility of conceptualizing the dynamics of an addictive behavior through the prism of attachment theory. From the inheritance of a family gift, through the coloring of attachment objects, to the adolescent oedipal reactivation, the addictive behavior finds a functional echo in compensation for an inaugural lack. This lack, this deficiency from an insecure family space, conditions the appearance of a symptomatic defense embodied by the dependent attachment to external objects. The case of Mohamed illustrates these problems in the relationship to the Other while providing a clinical window on the identity issues palliated by addictive behaviors. Witha logic of having rather than being, shaped by a relationship to language oscillating between the unspeakable and the reification of his speech, Mohamed invites us, singularly, to glimpse an avenue of clinical reflection.

[Research on adolescent depression associated with parental depression]. / Une recherche sur la dépression de l'adolescent associée à la dépression parentale.

At the crossroads of a global pandemic, here and there where public discourse misuses the concepts of depression, research has begun on a public health issue, that of adolescent depression. The Adodesp study (adolescent depression associated with parental depression) aims to study the interest of a preventive identification of adolescent depression, based on that of parental figures, while evaluating the orientation towards a care system articulated between primary care and mental health devices. To date, this study has included 42 adolescents based on the identification of 30 depressed parents. Preliminary results show that 45% of adolescents are depressed and support the need for systematic identification of adolescent depression in children of depressed parents. They also underline the difficulties and pitfalls of this identification by general practitioners and conclude that it would be useful to strengthen the link between primary care and mental health services.
