Abstract
Adolescents are very sensitive to quality of the way they are looked at and to the words concerning them. Psychanalytic approach of adolescence shows that confrontation with parental imagos might strengthen their feeling of beeing unable to grow up and a bad self opinion. During meetings with the family, the consultants (beeing present as a third party) can formulate the symbolic references which are required to develop the subjectivation's processus. To become a man or a woman needs keeping a distance with parental imagos and, in the other hand, it needs recognition of the other's difference: boy or girl, adult or child. Staffs of psychiatric services for childs and adolescents have to increase their understanding of the culturals references of the present society and the way of adolescent's perception of that society in which they are going to take their place.
