The problem of knowledge in adolescence and the real of the puberty

This article proposes a reflection on the theme of adolescence in Psychoanalysis from a point of view that emphasizes the relation between knowledge, with its many implications, and puberty, as the real of the body that erupts in this age group. We present points of the works of Freud and Lacan supporting this articulation and some works of contemporary authors about this problem.
