ABSTRACT

In therapy, the individual in a connection situation includes the therapist and the relationship between the therapist and the client. In depth-psychology, the focus is held as the therapist limits his or her involvement. In this chapter, the author attempts in favour of the notion that conceptualization is an important part of the work of thinking and an aid in clinical work. Issues concerning limits, performance at home and at school, and potentially risky behaviour with drugs, driving, and other youthful activities are for most young people central areas of conflict. When working with this group of adolescents, it became necessary to develop thoughts that could legitimize a practice that often went beyond what he used to consider as psychotherapy. The author looks at thinking and the producing of thought as any other kind of production that produces an object, a product.
