Dependency with an End, Dependency without End

Issue 7 : April, 2014
ISBN : 9782749240572


Dependency, if imposed at birth with the infant’s neotony, is also a necessary process of development. This state is just as much somatic as it is psychological, and lasts as long as the object cannot be interiorized by a mature Ego, as long as the child has to have it with him instead of within… It is this internalization process which fails for those whom suffer from addictions or from a borderline personality.  Dependencies then present themselves as the clinic of exteriorization: without a functional object internalization, without transitionality, the individual is forced into an over-dependency to exterior objects, searching around what is absent within. The dependent patient consumes, without limit, from the outside because he is incapable of preserving what is inside. What function does dependency or addiction cover? What has been previously banished so that a fertile independency could not be instituted? How can the Institution open the way to this necessary transitionality? This object internalization process can sometimes be undermined at certain specific times in life, such as adolescence or senescence: the dependency matter is then brutally re-actualized within the embrittlement of the previously functional narcissistic foundations. How do institutions accompany this journey?
