Responsabilidad subjetiva de niños, niñas y adolescentes institucionalizados: una lectura psicoanalítica.

Abstract

This paper proposes a development of the concept of subjective responsibility –a notion considered from psychoanalysis to reflect on the position assumed by institutionalized children and adolescents. Some reflections are included on the actions directed by the institutional representatives in comprehensive care programs as well as on how these actions make possible or hinder a responsible position of children and adolescents. This shows that the State, institutions, and professionals are involved in what happens beyond the goals set in these programs in order to yield subjects responsible for their own future.
