Résumé

From the essential notion, clinical and theoretical ``breakdown'', the authors present in this text the observation of a teenager aged fourteen. This young girl ``triggers'' at the beginning of her pubertal metamorphosis, at the age of twelve, paralysis of the lower limbs. The psychotherapeutic technical work undertaken reveals a massive, intrapsychic and intersubjective tension in the maternal and more largely family environment.
