Abstract EN

This research is primarily a reflection of psychosomatic obesity, emphasizingthe potential size of the symbol-somatic singular act.

As such, obesity represents a different mode of conflict management, privileging the path of singularity and the way the body.

It constitutes a differentiating somatic act and saving in the psychic economy of certain individuals.

We try to link this concept with three other variables: adolescence, alexitymia or emotional aphasia and psychosomatic relaxation that takes an important place in the psychotherapeutic field, and attempts to reintroduce the body along with the verb, as a means of dialogue and healing.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the evolution of the alexithymic dimension of obese adolescents in their care including psychosomatic relaxation.

The results show changes related to the alexithymic profile studied.

Data resulting from this study suggest that relaxation reduces the psychosomatic process Alexithymia in obese adolescent, this will allow a discount depending on the mental development and thus promotes the verbalization of the emotional state to return to the body through the symptoms.
