SUMMARY:

 

In recent years, there has been an increase in scarification practices among adolescents. The DSM-5 considers non-suicidal self-injury to be an independent diagnostic dimension and includes it in the category of disorders that require further research and revision of their diagnostic criteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) includes self-injury in the context of self-inflicted violence, making a series with suicide attempts, suicide, self-harm and self-punishment.  This paper aims to address cutting as an act in the face of the emergence of anguish in the adolescent journey, as this journey involves necessary overcoming of the embarrassments experienced by adolescents in relation to identifications and the mirror. Adolescence and its crossings demand a series of elaborations from the subject (Alberti, 2004) and particularly during this time of life, the identity verdicts of the Other are particularly acute (Soler, 2014). It can be seen that the vast confusion of nosological criteria following the weakening of the psychoanalytic framework and the adherence to organicist currents have fostered reductionist practices in line with the "ideology of suppression of the subject." The risk of such therapies therefore lies in the lack of problematization about the psychic etiology of self-injury and scarification, when they are only described from an observable phenomenological point of view. In the psychoanalytic clinic, on the other hand, cuts on the skin reveal both the possibility of adolescent subjects resorting to identifications and the shattering of their self-image in the mirror by the shape of their body. It is possible to understand, however, that the symbolic work involved in the adolescent journey with its possible tears in the image can be permeated with anguish. In this sense, we are betting on a speech-oriented therapy that favors elaborations as subjective outlets in adolescence in the face of the risks present in acts.
