SUMMARYIn his report, the author suggests that psychoanalysts working in hospitals must deal with the distinct nature of the psychoanalytic listening of somatic patients. The author defines the theoretic base for psychoanalytic listening as psychosomatics (as opposed to psychosomatic medicine). The author presents two models from which descend all the various psychoanalytic approaches of psychosomatic clinics. Emphasis is mostly placed on contributions made by the Ecole de Paris : the importance given to sensorimotor manifestations ; the evolutionist point of view ; the development of an original psychosomatic nosography, inspired by psychoanalysis ; and the somatization processes. The study covers a wide range of aspects, namely theoretical and clinical considerations of allergy as a structural phenomenon and as a way of relating to the world ; operational thinking in its proper historical context ; essential depression as a notion of great importance in psychosomatics. The author finally draws a profile of the various forms of psychoanalytic treatments offered to somatic patients.

Many academic and popular discourses claim that in the last decade, major changes have taken place in youth sexual behaviours and in their environment regarding sexuality: 1) the decreasing age at first sexual intercourse among today i youth (sexual timeline); 2) the exacerbation of sexual activities among youth (increasing number of sexual partners, diversification of sexual practices); 3) the decline of sexual moral and values; and 4) the increasing degree of sexual explicitness of images in media. These four key affirmations are the basis of the hypersexualization discourse and are discussed in this paper using published data on the subject. Published data on sexual behaviours of Quebec and Canadian youth do not support affirmations about a significant decreasing age at first intercourse (neither for oral, vaginal or anal sex), an exacerbation of sexual activity and a decline of sexual moral and values. Available data partly support the hypothesis that adolescents are increasingly exposed to more explicit sexual contents in the traditional media (television, magazines). Evidence also confirms that more explicit sexual content is reported on the Web.
