Antisocial and Acting Out Behaviour in Relation
to the Development of the Adolescent Mind
Scientific Meeting | Saturday, September 24, 2016 | Venue: Arbutus Club
2001 Nanton Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V6J 4A1
The ability to sustain hope, with gratification that may occur only at some point in the future, demands a tolerance for frustration that is not always attainable for the adolescent.
Learning Objectives:
- View the adolescent with antisocial or acting out behaviour, not as pathological, but as attempting to prolong the period of adolescence, allowing more time to find a significant person to provide sufficient emotional structure for growth of the mind to occur.
- Gain a better understanding of the manner in which the mind of the adolescent develops using the theories of both Bion and Klein.
- Develop an appreciation of the function of desire when frustration tolerance is tested beyond endurance in the adolescent.
