* Correspondance

Social worker educators and health care institutions are currently overwhelmed by teenagers named “tweeners,” often considered as “psychopaths.” Their main way of calling for help is by acting out. This results in both relational problems and attachment disorders. These symptoms prevent them from building transitional spaces in which to develop. To provide them with an efficient form of care, institutions have to adapt their own framework so as to make collaboration between institutions possible. Their exchanges will support the creation or recovery of the narrative process for young people.
