Sfidare la morte: tentato suicidio in adolescenza. Un caso clinico in cui la collaborazione tra psicologi di servizi diversi si rivela possibile - A clinical case in which the cohoperation among psychologists of different agencies reveals possible. The authors, three psychologists working in Genoa’s Public Services, tell the story of an individual and familiar psychotherapy realized in a parallel in consequence of attempted suicide by a fifteen-year-old boy. Fabio threw himself under a train: his acting has activated energies and resources, creating an assistance network which is proved itself to be effective. The collaboration between operators belonging to different services and approaches (psycodinamic and systematic therapy) produced a team that received the boy’s desperate request for help; this made his family capable of overcoming the anguish of individuation-separation.
