Outline: The structure of family systems has changed and very often these dynamics of family experience create additional challenge for the adolescent as she/he attempts to find a newly emerging sense of belonging and identity in the world. In this one-day workshop we will explore the impact of separation and complex family configurations for the adolescent, paying particular attention to the adolescent's first-person experience. A clear relational framework for organising theapeutic intervention will be presented.
