During adolescence, physical and psychic reorganizations are very important and new markers of identity and identifications are thrown back into question. Anzieu's metaphor, the "Skin-Ego" ("Moi-Peau"), appears to us very useful to think adolescence as a molting: the skin - i.e. the metaphoric Skin-Ego - is changing. This new transformations need to be contained, so the cathexis of the boundaries is requested. The purpose of the present article is to ponder on the containments favoring the molting of the adolescence. These containments are psychic, object and societal.
