The author investigate five complementary levels of psychological and psychoanalytical understanding of the contemporary religious radicalisation process. These five axes ‒ individ-ual; groupal; fraternal; transgénérational; civilisational ‒ are complementary and relied to each others. They refer to both conscious and unconscious psychological process. This contagious phenomena is fundamentally related to the adolescence process. It refers to despairing vio-lence, puberty breakdown, trans-generational hate and early failure of the Self construction. Beside this onto-genetic approach, religious radicalisation may be considered as a symptomatic post-modern production.

Keywords: Radicalization, fanatism, adolescence, fratricide, melancholy, alienation.
