adolescence, adolescent health care, official documents.Abstract
This article aims to analyze concepts embodied in adolescent health care documents issued by national and international official organizations such as Ministério da Saúde (MS),World Health Organization (W^HO) and Pan American Health Organization (P^AHO), seeking to find out their definition of adolescence, adolescent health care and the attributes doctors must have to offer an efficient medical assistance to youth. These documents were subjected to a thematic analysis correlating the above-mentioned themes with the conceptions they are based upon. This analysis showed that, in the documents, adolescence is defined by three criterions:
the chronological one attached to somatic transformations, the construction of a typical adolescent model and the prevalence of the biological approach within a interdisciplinary proposal; that adolescent health care expresses itself based upon an enlightened, teleological and normative conception of adolescence and, finally, that in order to offer an efficient medical assistance the health professional, mainly the doctor, must function like a family peacemaker and a kind of
patter-mater extra parenthood.
