The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Literary Studies

Background:

  • Adolescence is marked by a crisis involving desire, parental authority detachment, and the sexual act.
  • Sigmund Freud and Gustave Flaubert's works offer insights into these adolescent challenges.
  • The feeling of strangeness and the desire for adult identity are central to the adolescent experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the adolescent crisis through the lenses of psychoanalysis and literature.
  • To explore the adolescent's encounter with desire, pleasure, and the sexual act.
  • To investigate the causes and effects of detachment from parental authority.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of psychoanalytic theories (Freud, Lacan) and literary works (Flaubert).
  • Examination of Flaubert's "Memoirs of a Madman" for themes of self-enigma and adolescent strangeness.
  • Interpretation of literary texts in light of psychoanalytic concepts regarding desire and the unconscious.

Main Results:

  • Adolescent desire is linked to narcissistic and infantile aspects, as noted by Freud.
  • The "sexual relationship" as a concept is questioned (Lacan).
  • Adolescent experiences, including body enjoyment and unconscious drives, contribute to subject division and potential psychosomatic marks.

Conclusions:

  • The adolescent crisis involves a complex interplay of unconscious desires, societal expectations, and the struggle for identity.
  • Literary analysis, particularly of Flaubert, illuminates psychoanalytic concepts of adolescent development.
  • The transition to adulthood is characterized by a confrontation with new desires and a sense of self-division.
