RESUMO

The aim of this study is to investigate psychoanalytically the collective imaginary of mental health professionals regarding the contemporary adolescent. We decided to study this subject because we noticed some concern, among mental health professionals, in cases of mandatory referral of teenagers by a judicial order for psychiatric hospitalization. Individual interviews, organized around the use of Thematic Story- Drawing Procedure, were realized with twelve nursing technicians, participants were invited to draw a "contemporary teenager," and following this to write a story about the picture drawn. The productions were examined using psychoanalytic methodology, in an operational search for evidence in affective-emotional psychological fields. As a result of this investigation, we discovered an unconscious psychological field, called "H-Hour", governed by the belief/fear that adolescence is the time when the person acquires power and realize that, invariably, in destructive acts, assuming a position that coincides, basically, with what is described in literature as antisocial tendency. The material analysis raises theoretical and clinical reflections regarding the conditions that favor this clearly biased pathologization/criminalization, of a feature of contemporary adolescence.
