Transmission psychique et vécu des pratiques de la parentalité adoptive chez l’adolescent

If the psychic transmission is particularly mobilized in the experience of parenthood; the practice of the adoptive clinic makes it possible to note a transmission of anxieties, defeats, flaws and wounds not repaired and symbolized adults who adopt. Based on questions about adoptive parenting, this article aims to understand the experience of adoptive parenting practices in adopted adolescents in the light of psychic transmission. To do so, the study adopted a qualitative design with a comprehensive paradigm. The data were collected at the SCOOPS Mental Care Yaoundé/Cameroun, from three adopted adolescents, through seminal interviews. The results reveal that in the desire to transmit values, knowledge and their history; adoptive parents face the pre-adoption realities, the experience of separation, abandonment. Also, the adopted subject carries with him sorrows, anxieties and injuries from his birth family (the Elsewhere) that echo in the adoptive framework (the Here). This allows us to consider clinical work from a psychogenealogical perspective.
