Adolescenza e malattia al tempo del Covid-19. Colloquiozoom interdisciplinare tra un padre pedagogista e una figlia psicoterapeuta

This article aims to present, in the interdisciplinary dialogue between a father and his daughter – a pedagogist and a psychotherapist, some of the implications that might affect a teenager with a chronic illness during the Covid19 emergency. In this dialogue, the authors discuss the identity struggle that the young patient undergoes and, considering different psychological and pedagogical contributions about “care”, highlight the importance of a dialogic approach that needs to become a “narrative and community-based care”. This approach aims to invert the involutional identity route and to support the teenager during the process of becoming the protagonist of his own care.
