LA THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

This work revolves around the consultation of a 14-year-old girl, allowing us to display some ideas about diagnosis in psychoanalysis. It is based on a key word: construction. Building a diagnosis speaks of a unique journey that takes time and in the specificity of the clinic with adolescents, multiple transfers come into play.

Therefore, diagnosing for a psychoanalyst does not consist of subsuming a specimen to a nosological class but rather outlining a path: someone's path in the face of their circumstances.
