Abstract

LINHARES, Márcio B. F.  and  PINHEIRO, Catarina Bray. O Eu-pele no Rorschach: A sua expressão em adolescentes toxicodependentes. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.3, pp.307-318. ISSN 0870-8231.

The Skin-Ego concept - on the psychic envelopes structure and functioning, particularly on the “holding”, “containing” and “protection against stimuli” functions - served as a base for the elaboration of new interpretation procedures for the Rorschach projective test, subsequently applied in the analysis of the protocols of two drug addicted adolescents. The proposed procedures were found relevant to the expansion of Rorschach’s clinical potential, as a form of access to psychic functioning, in a particular moment of a subject’s life. Therefore, the articulation between the Skin-ego and Rorschach might help clarify the meaning/function of the drug use throughout the phases of adolescence.

Keywords : Adolescence; Drug addiction; Rorschach; Skin-ego.
