This paper examines psychosomatic disorders in adolescents through the psychoanalytic treatment of a teenage girl. Initial findings indicate that symptoms may stem from self-punitive and critical internal dynamics. The author explores the concept of the “psychosomatic paradox,” proposing that physical ailments may offer unconscious advantages, thereby perpetuating the cycle of illness. The clinical material highlights psychoanalytic techniques, focusing on consistent availability, attentive listening, and interpreting psychosomatic symptoms within the context of the transference. Supported by psychoanalytic literature, the discussion builds a framework for understanding the mind-body connection in these disorders. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential of psychoanalytic treatment to foster emotional and psychological growth in adolescents with psychosomatic conditions.
