<br/><br/> Having recalled the already well-known analogies between mental functioning of infants and adolescents, the author considers the contributions of infant psychiatry to understanding adolescence, before focusing on the more specific problem of intersubjectivity.The baby has indeed to differentiate itself from the other, and this movement of the thought processes is again adopted during adolescence, which explains why dealing with teens, as with babies, requires care to be devoted to their environment.Like the baby, the teenager does not exist alone, and so both of them fundamentally need others to develop and rework the various aspects of their extra-psychic differentiation.
