For a doctoral psychology research project conducted in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, we hypothesized that adolescents rendered vulnerable by their individual, familial, institutional and societal backgrounds might have a psychic functioning dominated by the pursuit of an ideal object or idealized figure. This article presents the findings of this research project, which led to the identification of a range of adolescent radicalities encompassing three distinct forms : transient, traumatophilic and mortifying. These radicalities are presented alongside the clinical account of three adolescents involved in forms of extremist ideology (religious, conspiratorial, political). We discuss potential approaches for the care and support of these adolescent figures of radicality, with key proposals being a despecification of the treatment for such adolescents and the creation of a multidisciplinary care environment.
This forty-eighth episode features an interview with Marie Saudan and Pascal Roman.
