Experience of a mobile team for preadolescents and adolescents: The importance of changes in the physical and relational environment - 2016.

This article presents the interest, functioning, and specificities of a mobile multidisciplinary team that works in pairs, using a vehicle designed as a mobile office, going out to meet a youth and his/her family in locations chosen by them (most often between their home and a care center). The movement of “coming out to you” is particularly important in bringing the youth out of his/her isolation, reinitiating social bonds, and putting stalled psychic processes back into motion. Specific characteristics of this mobile team are its mobile frame of reference, with changing locations (largely associated with maintaining follow-up care) and changing caregiver pairs (allowing for a mobility of mental representations, avoiding transference onto a single therapist, and therefore facilitating the investment of therapeutic intermediaries). This mobility and flexibility in the frame of reference adapts to the needs of the youth and his/her family, helps with the mobilization of their abilities, and fosters the therapeutic relationship. It allows the passage from a single and fixed representation to a plurality of representations, both for the caregiving team and for the youth and his/her family, bringing about a greater openness to new possibilities and perspectives for a new future.
