“…Possible explanations from a psychoanalytical perspective of why the parents underrated somatic troubles compared to the adolescents -and compared to the results of the thematic analysiscould be (1) the presence of a social desirability bias supported by a secondary thought process more present in the adult than in the (pre)adolescent, (2) an underlying denial of the suffering endured by the adolescent, because it either damages the parents' illusion of being all-powerful [51] or threatens areas which are traumatic for the parents themselves, or (3) both. The theoretical link established by the literature review makes it tempting to correlate somatizing to a lower degree of alpha functioning and of primary symbolization [52], which could be estimated by the ratio between signs of alpha functioning (e.g. creative games and activities, success in achieving own goals, capacity to be alone, drive for acquiring knowledge, capacity to manage time, etc.)…”

The current study is a psychoanalytic reading of the clinical material arising from ongoing developmental research into international adoption within the framework of the Attachment Adoption Research Network (AAARN). The primary objective of the study is to verify whether the severity of deprivation experienced preadoption is a risk factor for narcissistic identity pathologies in adolescence with regard to international adoption. A grounded theory approach is used to identify a set of qualitative variables, which are later quantitatively assessed. The findings are discussed in terms of both qualitative and quantitative results and suggest the greater presence of chronic somatic troubles and observable signs of primary trauma in the adoption population compared to the control group. Future areas for research are suggested in the conclusion. © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Son objectif principal est de déterminer si la sévérité de la déprivation expérimentée avant l'adoption constitue un facteur de risque pour les pathologies narcissiques identitaires à l'adolescence. Une approche théoriquement fondée est utilisée en vue d'identifier un ensemble de variables qualitatives qui seront, dans un deuxième temps, évaluées de manière quantitative. Les résultats sont discutés qualitativement et quantitativement ; ils suggèrent la présence accrue de troubles somatiques chroniques, ainsi que de signes observables d'un traumatisme primaire par comparaison avec un groupe d'adolescents contrôle. Des pistes de recherches futures sont suggérées dans la conclusion de cette contribution.
