ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the concept of field out of the analytic situation and into the dynamics of the confrontation between parents and children and between siblings as well. F. Dolto points out that adolescence is a movement full of strength, of life promises, of expansion and that there is no such thing as an adolescent without problems, without suffering; it is perhaps the most painful period of life. The confrontation between generations requires consideration as a whole, as a product of an intersubjective relationship in which parents and their children define each other, involved as they are in a dynamic field. The basic unconscious fantasy is an original production, it originates in the field and its dynamics are structured through it. Sadomasochistic relationships between parents and their children give rise to a perverse dynamic field where confrontation and confirmation are replaced by acts of provocation.
