Antoine Perier, Jean-Pierre Benoit, Marie-Rose Moro : psychoanalytical psychotherapies in a « maison des adolescents »

It is, however, up to the psychotherapists and psychoanalysts to formalize their practices in order to be able to describe them, subject them to the work of thought through the practice of supervision and internal theoretical and clinical exchanges, and to bring them into more general psychoanalytical debates to assure, by the understanding of the differences and the recognition of the common elements, the fertility of the psychoanalytical approach to adolescent suffering.
