Idealiza？？o e onipotência na juventude contemporanea: a drogadic？？o como ilustra？？o

the central focus of this paper, dedicated to the uniqueness of contemporary youth, is the issue of possible hindrances to the process of subjectivation in the experience of transition from childhood to adulthood. starting from the assumption of possible imbrications of the narcissistic dimension of parents and children, we emphasize the formation of the ideal agencies, particularly the relationship between ideal ego and ego ideal, complemented by an analysis of idealization and sublimation. as an illustration of the propositions developed, are also explored the role of the ideal agencies and the prevalence of the ego ideal in the phenomenon of addiction to drugs. the increase of this phenomenon is seen as articulated to the peculiarities that mark the subjectivation processes of contemporary youth.
