O sofrimento psĂquico que leva o adolescente ao suicĂdio manifesta-se por falhas ao nĂvel do
funcionamento psĂquico, designadamente pelo uso excessivo do mecanismo de identificação
projectiva. Como tal, pretendeu-se revelar a expressĂŁo do funcionamento psĂquico do
adolescente suicida através da anålise de um protocolo Rorschach, para assim contribuir no
conhecimento dos mecanismos psĂquicos que caracterizam o adolescente em risco de suicĂdio.
PĂŽde constatar-se que o adolescente suicida revela um funcionamento psicolĂłgico
caracterizado pelo uso excessivo do mecanismo de identificação projectiva, por fragilidades
identitårias e dificuldades de simbolização, representação e diferenciação dos objectos, que
impedem a elaboração psĂquica das experiĂȘncias emocionais e que dificultam a integração ao
processo adolescente.
The psychic suffering that leads the adolescent to suicide is manifested by failures in the psychic functioning, namely the excessive use of the projective identification mechanism. Therefore, it was intended to reveal the psychic functioning expression of suicide adolescent through the analysis of a Rorschach protocol, and by that helping to the knowledge of the psychic mechanisms that characterize the adolescent at risk of suicide. The results showed that the suicide adolescent presents a psychological functioning characterized by excessive use of projective identification mechanism, by weak identity and difficulties in symbolization, representation and differentiation of objects, which prevents the psychic elaboration of emotional experiences and makes the integration to the adolescent process more difficult.
