The children must learn to control the violence

José Mariano Velilla, chief of the section of Psychiatry Infanto - juvenile of the University Clinical Hospital of Saragossa said that “The children must learn to contain the violent instincts not to reproduce them later in the adolescence”.

Such an affirmation was realized during the celebration of the eighth edition of the course ‘Psychopathology of the Adolescence: to be an adolescent in a world in crisis‘, that takes place in the summer University of Teruel.

Velilla, the director of the course, affirmed that “it is a drama for these minors, for his families and for all” and “it surprises the cost-free status and the coldness with which it is carried out now in early ages”.

Also he added that “there are adolescents who have not learned to frustrate, that want to experience beyond allowed his aptitude to hurt” and “before this the society has to be protected”.
The psychiatrist told that the adolescent has two instincts, the violence and the sexuality and to control them “he has had to learn to do it in the infancy because it understands that with adapted conducts it receives more gratifications”. “When it trumps the stabilizing environment, we run the risk that the adolescent wants to experiment for his account and be accepted for transgressing certain limits”, he said.

To culminate, Velilla expressed that the adolescence is a changes stage “and sometimes of important crises” and “this instability in our encompassed society supposes more risks because there is an enormous instability also in the environment”.
