Type de matériel :

The analyst who accompanies the adolescent on his way to adulthood is identified in transference with a sort of “Hectorâ€? and experiences his patient’s analytical process as a transfiguration of his being “Achillesâ€? into his becoming Aeneas, the only hero who manages to make it to a satisfactory adulthood. Classical texts and mythological figures do provide supports and representations that are useful in working with adolescents, especially in helping the transference and counter-transference to develop.
