* Correspondance

Adolescence is a period of intense reorganization of physical and psychological issues. The autonomization and separation process and regulation of drive is at the center of the process. Balance between narcissistic and object investments is threatened, and this reading can provide a clinical lecture of social withdrawal in terms of internal economic issues. Management strategies can be different but they place relationship at the center of the attention.
