N2  - Self injury, especially scarification, is a common element in the current clinical tableau of adolescents visiting psychiatric medical centres, often accompanied by fascinating or disturbing morbid images. On the basis of clinical observations in which self injury is linked in with other behaviour patterns or obsessive ideations (suicide attempts, drug abuse, bulimia) we will examine the psychopathological status of these images and their relationship with the act itself. Self harm can have a pejorative meaning but can also be an attempt, on the part of a subject momentarily unable to connect with others, to associate the imaginary with real body wounds.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
