Abstract

The study was proposed to comprehend the subjective universe of children who develop aggressive actions toward peers at school. Two five years old children were observed in a middle socio-economic school in Cali, using a qualitative method. There were six individual sessions with different clinical instruments: playing, drawing and interviews. It was found that the children present severe difficulties in the construction of the basis of identity; therefore the definition of the boundaries of the other is insufficient, and all this is accompanied by the feeling of a deep threat of the self – conservation. As a result, the children create the aggressive actions as a protection resource and as the principal form of relationship with the other.

Key words: aggressiveness, bullying, subjective sense, psychological subject, autism.
