A couple asks for a consultation regarding their child, six years old, who seemed to be too aggressive and violent.

At the same time, the aggression and violence of the child emerge as an assault to his own mind, and also to the mind of the other.

Un couple demande une consultation pour son fils âgé de six ans parce que trop agressif et violent. En partant des réflexions sur leur demande, de l’histoire familiale et du matériel des séances, les auteurs proposent une réflexion sur l’organisation sado/masochiste à l’intérieur de la relation de couple. Comme il semble se produire dans ce cas, le choix du partenaire apparaît répondre à la nécessité d’exprimer la destructivité en créant des « camps » de conflit, à l’intérieur desquels l’agressivité et la violence chez l’enfant se manifestent comme un assaut contre sa propre psyché, mais aussi contre celle de l’autre, dont la séparation évoque des fantasmes violents, persécutoires et fortement hostiles ; c’est ainsi que se concrétise le passage trans-générationnel de l’agression et de la violence comme défenses extrêmes contre le contact avec les vécus dépressifs les plus profonds.

Abstract
A couple asks for a consultation regarding their child, six years old, who seemed to be too aggressive and violent. Stimulated by the reflections about their request, by family history and by the material of the sessions the authors propose a reflection on sadomasochistic relationship within the couple. As seems to happen in this case, the choice of partner appears functional to the need to express destructiveness creating "fields" of conflict, in which aggression and violence appear to be oases of rest from suffering. At the same time, the aggression and violence of the child emerge as an assault to his own mind, and also to the mind of the other. Separation evokes violent, persecutors, and strongly hostile ghosts. So, it makes real the transmission of aggression and violence between generations, as extreme defenses by contact of deeper depression experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
