Acting Out : Discharge or Object Intent?

Issue 9 : March, 2015
ISBN : 9782749246857


In the child’s development, the act precedes the thought; it opens the way to symbolization capacities and probably remains one of the mentalization capacities’ prototypes, an ancestral influence made of sensori-motor traces. Therefore, as the child’s story develops, “thinking” takes over “doing”. When can the behavioural acting-out be considered as the failure of the mentalization process, the mental processing? Is the act the symbol of a psychical conflict or does it rather come and replace the individual’s unrepresentable contents, unbelievable, like borderline clinic illustrates it at the least and psychotic functioning often locked up in impulsive and irrational acting-outs, at most? When does the act become part of the impulse, or at the opposite part of the compulsion, the repetition instead of the remembering? Is it auto-soothing if not auto-erotic? Does it behold a fantasy dimension? What otherness does the acting-out contain? Is it only a motor discharge or it intended towards an object? Does the act obey an auto-erotic, narcissistic imperative or is part of a relational dynamic? What answers can the institution bring to these behavioural expressions?
