The religion that follows the life of the man since the beginning of its history on earth is the object of study of many sciences and has, for several centuries, a crucial role as model of life and social coexistence. Today, however, clearly feels the need to seek new forms os religious practices, which provide a contemporary approach to the man with the sacred and religious experiences. The aim of this study was to understand the religious practice offers young people that contact whit the Transcendent and the other, giving them a sense of belonging and serving as a web of support and protection against the excesses cammon to adolescence. Participants were adolescents participating in youth groups linked to the Catholic Church, and one class of peoples and other middle-class in the city of Recife. We use it to the semi-structured reviewed in the light of psychoanalytic theory. We hope that the results presented extend the the discussion and knowledge on the subject, offering subsidies to those dealing directly on indirectly with what regard to their religiosity. / O estudo da adolescência e de formas adequadas de lidar com essa fase da vida, tão amplamente pesquisada na atualidade, é um tema inesgotável e vem despertando um enorme interesse por parte dos estudiosos das ciências humanas e sociais. A religião que acompanha a vida do homem desde os primórdios de sua história sobre a terra é objeto de estudos de muitas ciências e desempenhou, durante vários séculos um papel determinante como modelo de vida e de convivência social. Hoje, porém, sente-se claramente a necessidade de procurar novas modalidades de práticas religiosas, que propiciem ao homem contemporâneo uma aproximação com o Sagrado e experiências religiosas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi compreender se a prática religiosa oferece aos jovens esse contato com o Transcendente e com os outros, dando-lhes um sentido de pertença e servindo de suporte e de teia de proteção social contra as transgressões comuns à adolescência. Os participantes foram adolescentes participantes de grupos de jovens ligados à Igreja Católica, sendo um deles de classe popular e outro de classe média, na cidade do Recife. Utilizamos para isso, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, analisadas à luz da teoria psicanalítica. Esperamos que os resultados apresentados ampliem a discussão e o conhecimento a respeito do tema, oferecendo subsídios a todos aqueles que lidam direta ou indiretamente com os adolescentes, e com aquilo que diz respeito a sua religiosidade.

Afrikaans text / In this study, the reasons for the phenomenon of continuous loyalty towards and hero worship of incapable parents are investigated. Case studies with a qualitative and quantitative research paradigm were completed on two adolescents. Media that was used to collect data include: interviews, Kinetic Family Drawing, Sacks Incomplete Sentence Test and the High School Personality Questionnaire. The findings of this study indicate that there are certain factors that are typical traits of incapable parenthood. Adolescents deal with this child-parent relationship through rationalisation and defence. The result is a feeling of inferiority, poor self-image and behavioural patterns that are aimed at satisfying the parents and receiving in turn, positive feedback. This study supplies answers to parents and individuals in the educational-psychological field in understanding the adolescent in such situations. Further research is however necessary to gain information about this phenomenon in order to be able to substantiate the findings. / In hierdie studie is die redes vir die verskynsel van lojaliteit teenoor, en heldeverering vir ontoereikende ouers ondersoek. `n Gevallestudie, met `n kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is op twee adolessente gedoen. Die media waarmee die data ingesamel is sluit in: onderhoudvoering, Kinetiese Gesinstekening, Sacks Onvoltooide Sinnetoets en die Hoërskoolpersoonlikheidsvraelys. Die bevindings van hierdie studie toon aan dat daar sekere faktore is wat kenmerkend van ontoereikende ouerskap is. Adolessente spreek hierdie ouer-kind-verhouding aan deur rasionalisasie en verdediging. Die gevolg is `n gevoel van minderwaardigheid en `n swak selfbeeld, asook gedrag wat daarop gerig word om die ouers tevrede te stel en positiewe terugvoer van hulle af te kry. Hierdie studie bied antwoorde aan ouers en persone in die opvoedkundige-sielkunde praktyk oor hoe om adolessente in sulke situasies te verstaan. Verdere navorsing is egter nodig om inligting oor dié verskynsel te bekom en sodoende bevindings te kan veralgemeen. / Further Teacher Education / M. Ed. (Voorligting)
