Teenagers and young adults: building your identity
Festival of Vocations
Round table
With Catherine Dolto (doctor, haptotherapist), Marcel Rufo (child psychiatrist), Julien Acquaviva (director of the Appel d’Aire association).
Adolescence is said to be the age of identity. But what is it built on? And with what? When the foundations and materials are lacking or defective (family, environment…), how do you build yourself despite everything? Two leading specialists in childhood and adolescence, and a player in the integration of young people “dented” by life, shed light on this difficult age, both for those who live it and for their parents.
Catherine Dolto
Catherine Dolto practices haptotherapy, which uses touch to release tensions of both bodily and emotional origin, from babies to adults.
Marcel Rufo
Professor Marcel Rufo, a child psychiatrist, is medical director of the Espace Méditerranéen de l’Adolescence at the Salvator Hospital in Marseille. He also heads the adolescent, young adult and adult units at the Clinique des Trois Cyprès.
Julien Acquaviva
Julien Acquaviva heads the Appel d’Aire association, which works to re-mobilize young people who have dropped out of school and/or been placed under house arrest, through non-degree-granting training in wood and metal trades, as part of a collective.
