Silence and the Use of Objects Brought to the Session as a Resistance in a Group with Adolescents

Roberto Ghirardelli

Italian Health Service, ACANTO (Association for the Study of Group Dynamics)

Containment and waiting are the instruments needed by the conductor of a teenager group. It is in fact necessary to make room for silences, strange objects and non-verbal language: these should not always be interpreted as provocations, but rather as transitional objects.

Key Words: non-verbal language • objects in the session • silence • teenager • transitional object
