Résumé

Adolescents supported by child protection services (CPS) represent a population exposed to repeated relational trauma that significantly increases the risk of developing complex trauma characterized by polymorphic symptomatology. The behavioral problems presented by adolescents followed by CPS may fit within this nosographic framework. They can lead to major difficulties in adapting to their environment, especially when the trajectory of polyvictimization is pronounced. Unfortunately, the failure of professionals to recognize this diagnosis remains frequent. As a result, institutional responses are often poorly adapted to the needs of the adolescents concerned, promoting an excessive psychiatrisation of their behavioral manifestations at the expense of a comprehensive and holistic approach rooted in their traumatic history.
