This article is based on a study carried out in 2012 by M. H. Calvet on Maisons des Adolescents (Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Centers). Its object was to investigate the place of parents in MDAs, which are treatment settings geared first and foremost towards adolescents. The favored approach is a semantic one: the discourse of MDAs, what they call parents, how they speak of the latters’relation with their adolescent children and with the MDAs themselves.
