The present study examines the role of sexuality in the emancipation processes of adolescent girls. It is studied from a psychoanalytic perspective in a non-clinical setting by focusing on changes in the mother-daughter relationship. Within the theory of transition from the “ethic family” to the “affective family”, the work carries out a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted by Counselling Centre /Family and Youth Clinic operators with mothers and their adolescent daughters (aged 14-18). The analysis of these transcripts highlights the difficulties of adolescent girls in taking on the responsibilities of becoming young women in today’s society. The role of Counselling Centres/ Family and Youth Clinics in encouraging these important developmental processes is also discussed.

Abstract

The present study examines the role of sexuality in the emancipation processes of adolescent girls. It is studied from a psychoanalytic perspective in a non-clinical setting by focusing on changes in the mother-daughter relationship. Within the theory of transition from the “ethic family” to the “affective family”, the work carries out a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted by Counselling Centre /Family and Youth Clinic operators with mothers and their adolescent daughters (aged 14-18). The analysis of these transcripts highlights the difficulties of adolescent girls in taking on the responsibilities of becoming young women in today’s society. The role of Counselling Centres/ Family and Youth Clinics in encouraging these important developmental processes is also discussed.
