Abstract

The author, after having identified the psycho-socio-structural modifications consequent to the pervasiveness of the virtual, proposes a reading of the adolescent identity construction starting from the risks coming from the dissolution of the typical boundaries of the digital age. Starting from some dual and group clinical situations, the need for a review of the psychotherapeutic setting to reach “hyperconnected” and potentially “borderless” adolescents is underlined. Taking into account the “limit” – lived and experienced at a deep level – in all its psychodynamic significance becomes one of the fundamental clinical values to contrast adolescent identity crises in the digital age.
