Abstract

The article deals with the following subject: transition from a normal to pathological development in adolescence. The herewith connected disturbance in dealing with the behaviour which is typical for this age is addressed, is understood as dis-turbed emotional regulation. Also a typical model of pathological development is presented. This is the base of a psychotherapy indi-cation which enables development. This kind of psychotherapy helps step by step to overcome emotional-functional disorders. Implicitly this article founds a new orientation for social and edu-cational approach to juvenile and young grown-ups which can be regarded as individuation.

Keywords Adolescents; developmental disturbance; develop-mental psychopathology; enactment; psychotherapy; individuation; developmental support.
