“…This significant distinction also appears necessary because, as mentioned in the literature ( 57 ), the suggested treatment differs for each situation, as we verified with our experience (radical conduct during delusional syndrome appears to be well treated with antipsychotic drugs). Our study also establishes interest in certain profiles and factors described in the literature ( 20 , 22 , 25 , 27 , 74 , 75 ). The “sleeping beauty” profile (romantic motivation) resonated with two adolescent girls in our sample; their educational and psychopathological follow-up led to very good and rapid results, which is in line with large outcome studies ( 25 , 27 ).…”

“…Individuals on this trajectory are more often part of a local context. They are especially vulnerable to external control in the form of relational clinging ( 22 ). Motivational aspects linked to interest in violence and weapons, adventure, fighting, “male values,” lack of self-esteem , and a lack of interest in searching for tenderness correlated significantly with a worse outcome ( 25 ).…”

“…We based the psychopathological analysis on the clinical and psychopathological literature ( 28 , 29 , 31 , 39 ) and our previous clinical observations ( 22 , 33 , 37 , 48 ). After identifying the main themes of interest, we chose to merge them based on the following logic.…”

Recent studies have shown higher rates of radicalization of adolescents than in the 2000s. Since 2015, radicalization prevention units have been implemented in child and adolescent psychiatry departments in France. We aimed to report on the psychopathology of adolescents who were followed up in a university department due to their “radical conduct.” Based on the available clinical data (from child psychiatry consultations, long-term family and/or individual therapy, and psychological testing) for 20 adolescents with “radical conduct,” we examined the nature of their radical conduct, their psychopathology, their family characteristics, and the existence or absence of traumatic experiences. Among the 20 adolescents, 4 had radical conduct associated with a delusional syndrome (schizophrenia or a psychotic episode after substance abuse). For the other 16, we found no psychotic conditions. The analysis of other data showed that the adolescents shared some characteristics, such as an important prevalence of intrafamilial violence, sexual abuse, imprisonment of family members, traumatic family histories, and significant psychological control or dependence phenomena occurring in divided families. This diversity of psychopathologies appears consistent with previous studies highlighting the relevance of diverse profiles depending on the presence of a delusional syndrome, the individual's gender and the individual's attraction to violence. Finally, we discuss some psychopathological hypotheses and make therapeutic recommendations. We believe that child and adolescent psychotherapy/psychiatry has a role to play in countering violent extremism by offering adolescents a way out of radical commitment.

Introduction: Radicalization among adolescents is a rising phenomenon that has become a public health concern in Europe. According to some authors, violent radicalization by resorting to self-violence could be a form of suicidal behavior. However, evidence-based studies to support this assertion are lacking. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the issue of suicidality among adolescents engaged in violent radicalization. Methods: We compared a group of radicalized adolescents convicted of criminal association to commit terrorism (AMT) in France (N=15) with hospitalized adolescents who have attempted to end their lives (N=320). This comparative study is based on two samples from two studies that used the same instruments to assess psychiatric diagnoses, suicide risk, reasons for living, and coping. Results: AMT adolescents were significantly less suicidal and less depressive/hopeless than adolescents with suicide attempts (SAs). AMT adolescents showed fewer instances of depressive and borderline personality disorders but more manic and psychotic episodes than SA adolescents. They also had much more efficient coping strategies than SA adolescents, especially for the following strategies: seeking professional help, relational support and spiritual support. All the subscores of the reasons for the living scale were significantly higher for AMT adolescents than for SA individuals, apart from the subscore on peer acceptance and support. Conclusion: Adolescents engaged in violent radicalization cannot be considered suicidal adolescents who have found an opportunity to end their lives through the process of radicalization. Understanding this phenomenon within a social, political and cultural context is necessary.
