It then addresses, from a psychoanalytic perspective, a theoretical and clinical reading of the function of controlled and deliberate self-inflicted cuts on the skin by adolescents, which are circulated by the same subjects on social media. The treatment of the problem of self-harm during the transition through adolescence revolves around the function of cutting the skin woven into the vicissitudes of narcissism, the fantasy and the identification processes put into play in the contagion effects of cutting practices. As for the theoretical-conceptual hypothesis verified in the clinical field, it maintains that skin cuts are linked to the precariousness of symbolic resources and the weakening of the rituals of passage that we witness in our culture. Furthermore, these cuts operate during adolescence as a self-treatment of the regulation of enjoyment and, as it is a temporary practice, it is destined to disappear Este artículo tiene como propósito, en primera instancia, reflexionar sobre algunas de las consecuencias subjetivas que presenta la participación de las redes sociales en la construcción del narcisismo de los sujetos usuarios, especialmente jóvenes. Luego aborda, desde una perspectiva psicoanalítica, una lectura teórico-clínica de la función de los cortes controlados y deliberados en la piel autoinfligidos por los adolescentes y puestos a circular por los mismos sujetos en las redes sociales. El tratamiento de la problemática de las autolesiones durante el tránsito de la adolescencia gira en torno a la función del corte en la piel tramada en los avatares del narcisismo, el fantasma y los procesos identificatorios puestos en juego en los efectos de contagio de las prácticas de cutting. En cuanto a la hipótesis teórica conceptual verificada en el ámbito clínico, esta sostiene que los cortes en la piel se encuentran vinculados a la precarización de los recursos simbólicos y a la fragilización de los rituales de pasaje a los que asistimos en nuestra cultura. Asimismo estos cortes operan durante la adolescencia como autotratamiento de la regulación del goce y, por tratarse de una práctica temporal, está destinada a desaparecer.
