N2  - In adolescence, suicide attempts do not always occur in a psychopathological context identified as presenting a suicide risk. But are they totally unpredictable? The clinician who is brutally confronted with a suicide act which he had absolutely not anticipated can only ponder over the pre-suicide aspects he should have spotted. The author presents a clinical picture which seems to her illustrative of a certain type of pre-suicide psychic configuration in adolescents: refusal by the adolescent to recognize the actuality of his ill-being, negative self-perception dissociated from a strongly invested idea] self-representation, negation of the psychic and somatic reality of the body and intensive recourse to the abstraction mechanism (antinomic of symbolization), to fight against pre-genital impulses.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
