Our article highlights the contribution of projective techniques (Rorschach and tat) to the understanding of adolescent symptoms involving family configurations trapped by the traumatic recurrence of incest. Projective mediation allows a “gap in the defensive shell” of the subject, thus highlighting libidinal movements and singular psychic investments. The various clinical encounters with Aurélie, a hospitalised adolescent, underline a marked investment in envelopes, a certain difficulty in being able to express authentic affects, an attempt to revive the psyche via the passage to the act and to the body as well as a certain confusion of identities victims of incest.
