Adolescence is a time and a transit territory between family and society. The "family" organisation and the characteristics of society are not invariant. They change over time according to the general characteristics of a culture. The rapid transformation of culture in the present historical period has profoundly changed the institutional sense of "being family" and the tasks entrusted to it by the social sphere. Parents can no longer be guided by traditional knowledge and are faced with completely new problems when their children pass, with different and disruptive evolutionary tasks, through the territories of a social society that in practice ignores them. The article explores these issues in depth, with clinical references, as a necessary awareness to correctly set the task of helping the profession of psychologists and psychotherapists.
