Abstract

The article describes an individual clinical process conducted online. From the patient's initial question, strongly focused on the symptoms, the narration of a family history begins, marked by the violent separation of the parents of Moroccan origin, and the consequent abandonment of the mother. A marital conflict, heated and destructive, which unfolds on a failure of the family's migration path from the country of origin, from which the patient distances herself physically with a consequent cut off. The work in the therapeutic path has the objective of detriangulating the patient's position within her family to arrive at a more authentic self’s differentiation, which allows her in the present to experience different roles than those imposed by her family mandate.
