This paper reports the results of a research on the various modalities of psychic functioning in non psychiatric adolescents, as expressed in the Rorschach test. This type of descriptive study can help in differentiating between normal and deviant reactions in disturbed conditions. Rorschach protocols of 73 non consulting adolescents, aged 16 to 19, are analyzed and a card by card analysis is also provided. The card by card analysis yields much information on differences between girls and boys in their respective positions. It emphasizes the differential impact of various stimuli and this approach should be systematized. In fact, no sexual differences are noted in the distribution of many structural variables, whereas important differences appear in themes and sensitivity. Analysis of the reactions to the ten situations are a confirmation of various clinical intuitions. The authors also raise various questions refering to the issues of feminity and masculinity in adolescence. Key-words Adolescence - Psychic functioning - Rorschach - Card specificity
Étude portant sur la comparaison de deux groupes d'adolescentes ; les unes normalement scolarisées et non consultantes, les autres hospitalisées après tentatives de suicide. Les protocoles de Rorschach de ces deux groupes d'adolescentes présentent des différences signifiantes lorsqu'on les analyse sous l'angle des difficultés d'intégration de la féminité. Dans le premier groupe l'acceptation des positions passives ne semble pas impliquer le renoncement à la revendication phallique. Dans le second groupe, on constate l'impossibilité à renoncer à une toute puissance combinant un masculin et un féminin archaïques : l'atteinte du corps propre pouvant alors être comprise comme un mode de résolution du conflit. Mots-clés : Adolescentes, Féminité, Suicide, Rorschach.
