Abstract

Systemic individual therapy is defined by a precise relational setting, a place where the subject can create bridges between the contexts to which he belongs, between the relationships that connote his spatial spaces and his mental space, using a different dialogue, in another relationship: the therapeutic one.

Therapy can become the individual space of today, of yesterday and tomorrow: it is a space for two, characterized by the ability to accommodate and manage the complexity of the individual. This specific setting appears particularly advantageous in working with adolescents, with whom it can sometimes be difficult to relate in a space defined by multiple relationships, such as that of family therapy.

The article takes its cue from the consideration of this relationship space for two, to describe the clinical case of Fabiola, a teenager struggling with the process of identification from her family, through the construction of her identity.
