This study aims at investigating the impacts of intrafamiliar sexual abuse for identificatory troublesomeness in adolescence. Taking as starting point the conception of adolescence as a corollary of the Oedipus complex, since its inscription will only happen in the second moment of its reactualization, which might allow the subject to differentiate self/other, the fantasizing of sexual differentiation between male/female, i.e. the possibility of the subject to relocate the infantile sexuality, so one can integrate one’s genitality and to desired objects, other than parental figures. Several researches have been contributing to the understanding of the consequences of incest in the psyche constitution of children and adolescents, however, just a few ones have been conducted in psychoanalysis focusing on the impact on the psyche of the incestuous experience. Ferenczi contributes to the theme in suggesting that children who experience sexual violence, using cleavage and identification with the aggressor, enable the psychic survival. The method used was the study with a single group, in which it presupposed the use of projective methods for understanding certain mental functioning, while allowing several case studies. Four teenagers aged between 12 and 17 years, victims of sexual violence, were evaluated. The techniques used were the Drawing-of-Family-and-Story Procedure and the French approach of Thematic Apperception Test. The purpose of the values was respectively to understand the functioning of the subject in the family environment and the functioning of the object relations of the victims. From the analysis of the protocols, we can see that the teenagers showed a fracture in the early Oedipus complex, making it difficult to establish a differentiation of self/other that would not allow a structuring of the identity axis. And in the case of the teenage girls the vicissitudes of their identification were a matter of narcissistic identification, and with the use of cleavage.
