ABSTRACT
During the Covid-19 emergency, patients suffering from social withdrawal and complex psychopathologies remained in contact with their hospital's Child Neuropsychiatry Department through sessions and interviews conducted remotely. After also suffering an initial phase of shock themselves, the health professionals outlined roadmaps for reaching their patients and finding new ways of letting them know that they were there, by their side, in any case, despite everything. In parallel, collaboration with colleague psychotherapists working outside the hospital environment made it possible to keep on with their work in a network. During this time of health-care emergency, all the professionals involved in the network found themselves walking a tightrope amidst the storms of adolescence in situations of serious psychopathology made even more complex by the pandemic. They nevertheless trusted that mental growth can spring from an experience of turbulence that, if mirrored, understood and supported, can become transformative.

Dopo una prima fase di shock che attraversa anche gli operatori, si delineano sentieri per raggiungere i nostri pazienti e trovare nuovi modi per far sentire che siamo 11 accanto a loro, comunque, nonostante tutto. Parallelamente, la collaborazione con le colleghe psicoterapeute che lavorano in ambito extra-ospedaliero permette di tenere e mantenere il lavoro in rete. In questo tempo di emergenza sanitaria, tutti gli operatori coinvolti nella rete si sono trovati a camminare "sul filo", nella tempesta dell'adolescenza, in una situazione di grave psicopatologia, resa ancor piu complessa dalla pandemia, ma con la fiducia che la crescita mentale pud originare da una esperienza di turbolenza che, se rispecchiata, compresa e sostenuta, diviene trasformativa.
