Denis Hirsch : Charlotte and free fall : about the narrative of action in adolescent psychotherapies

Starting from a psychotherapy session with a nineteen years old adolescent girl, the author shows the articulation between  » the narrative of action  » within the psychotherapy sessions and the externalized space where the action took part.

The author underlines how this  » widened psychotherapeutic space  » can be usefully used by the adolescent patient to integrate his internal conflicts by these externalized actions, when these actions are articulated with their representation during the psychoanalytic cure, inside the transference neurosis.
