Description
Description:
We shall discuss one of the most frequent family processes leading to adolescent psychosis. As a direct consequence of the couple's hidden relational malaise, one of the two parents pseudo-privileges the child over the spouse and instrumentally brings him/her up as the opposite of the spouse in every way. The involuntary cheating about feelings ("imbroglio of affections") enhances the possibility of a psychotic breakdown.
Educational Objectives:
- To provide specific roadmaps as a guide for therapeutic strategy
- To be able to recognize the signs of one of the more frequently recurring processes
