Blocked paths. Adolescents' sense of loss in the time of Covid-19

ABSTRACT

This article presents some clinical excerpts from cases of psychotherapy with adolescents that continued remotely during the Covid-19 emergency. It seeks to relate how the traumatic fallout from lockdown and the consequent loss of existential continuity triggered, in some of them, a regression towards defences deployed during childhood.
