Studies about the superego in adolescence acknowledge the possibility and need to distance individuals from this appearance; nevertheless, they leave certain questions unanswered regarding the mechanisms inherent to this behavior. This paper proposes a review of this issue through analysis of the bond between the process of teenage positioning regarding established social order and the process of sublimation in individuals. To this end, we suggest understanding individuals’ ability to position themselves ethically facing reality, based on the establishment of a subjective place of transition, interpretation and narration.
