Early Stages and Adolescent Psychopathology.
February 18 and 19, 2022
As we know, adolescence is an extremely vibrant and fruitful phase of human development in which the line between normality and pathology becomes difficult to draw.
Unfortunately, crises and complications often arise at this stage: indeed, it has long been known that most psychiatric disorders arise during this period of life. Moreover, in the current era we are witnessing an “adolescent emergency” with an exponential and worrying increase in psychopathologies of this phase, accelerated even more by the current pandemic.
In this course we will see how the basis of brain organization and psychic life outlined from the first months of life have effects in the adolescent period, in which the body becomes sexually mature. “Who am I?” In what body do I live and what are the boundaries of the same? Can I regulate and experience my emotions?” These are questions that belong to both the very early stages and the adolescent “crisis.”
A close look at the parental functioning and on the charged and internal realities of the parental couple that often accompany the whole process of child development and emerge, unexpected and alien, precisely in adolescence: this will lead us to reconsider the optics and preventive convenience of early developmental stages.
