Abstract

When studying the biography of adolescents who have committed suicides or delinquent acts, we can often find past histories of ill-treating, physical or moral ill-treating, but also emotional deficiencies. This article proposes, based on clinical examples, some psychodynamic hypotheses for understanding how an adolescent, from victim, can become author of violent acts.
