Resumo: Nesta apresentação, a perspectiva sobre a adolescência de Winnicott será discutida em relação à consolidação a à “expansão” do self na maturidade e idade adulta. As ideias de Winnicott sobre o “ambiente facilitador” para o amadurecimento de adolescentes serão apresentadas e elaboradas a partir do conceito de selfobject de Kohut, referindo-se a necessidades específicas de selfobjects que são intensificadas durante a adolescência. Introduzirei a ideia de que o processo de amadurecimento na adolescência leva à obtenção de duas capacidades específicas: a capacidade de altruísmo empático, compromisso social e responsabilidade e a capacidade de alegria. A relação entre estas ideias para o processo adolescente será demonstrada por meio de um cenário clínico. Palavras-chave: adolescência, ambiente facilitador, “selfobject”, Winnicott, Kohut Abstract: In this presentation, Winnicott's view on adolescence will be discussed in relation to the consolidation and the “expansion” of the self in maturity and adulthood. Winnicott's ideas on the “facilitating environment” for adolescents' maturation will be presented and elaborated with Kohut’s “selfobject” concept, referring to specific selfobject needs intensified during adolescence. I will introduce the idea that the maturational process of adolescence leads to the attainment of two specific capacities: the capacity for empathic altruism, social commitment and responsibility and the capacity for joy. The relation of these ideas to adolescent process will be demonstrated with clinical vignettes. Keywords: adolescence, enabling environment, selfobject, Winnicott, KohutReferências
