Abstract

The author shows briefly in this text how the psychological dimension of groupality is fundamental for the psychic functioning of all human beings. He further depicts the way this dimension is part of the adolescent process and its adjustments which help the subject to mature. He describes more analytically the adolescent’s re-birth in a new body and in a new social place by going out of childhood and becoming adult. He describes the two fundamental dimensions that are composing this process. The first of them is the Un-marking process that contains all the adolescent oppositions against the parents and the adults ‘positions; this opposition and contestation is necessary to him to un-mark himself of the child position in which he was before. The second one is the marking process in his generation and in the group of his friends; the in-scription is characterized by a lot of signs (way of thinking, of being dressed, of speaking, of preferred music etc.). Many of these signs are created; this creativity is bringing some new ways of life and it is contributing to the time and history’s social evolutions. He presents, in the fifth part of the text, two clinical examples of adolescents whose mental balance has suffered due to the confinement and their inability to physically experience the psychological level of groupality. He finishes the text by questioning the invention of prison as making a prisoner suffering by preventing him from experiencing groupality.
