Capitalist discourse differentiates the field of the Other, foreclosing castration, making individualism triumph and encouraging the consumption of things and bodies. Without reference to lack and by adopting the contemporary social, sexuality does not remain unscathed. This is a problem that finds fertile ground in adolescence, the stage for the market of the body, sexuality and inclusion in the social bond, and is promoted as an ideal in contemporary times. According to Winnicott and Lacan, adolescence is a social phenomenon. As clinicians, we are increasingly confronted with subjects who, under the auspices of postmodern discourse and without lack as support, find painful solutions to the encounter with the impossibility of sexual relationship during adolescence, or even commit themselves to this scene. We could therefore speak of a clinic of adolescence, without necessarily speaking of a clinic of adolescents. Referring to clinical material, the article shows that it is profitable to abstain from the neo-conservatism of diagnostic classifications and reference to developmental normality, and that creating time during the analytic encounter to enable the subject, using the plurality of the names-of-the-father, to free itself from the imperative of jouissance and take its place with only compass its desire, is liberating for it.
