Résumé : This paper aims to analyze the " adolescent detachment" which is a kind of autonomy where the emotional separation is dysfunctional. The detachment concept is described following a developmental view; attachment, separation-individuation and successful emotional separation are described. Several kinds of detachment are defined depending of the attachment type and of the biopsychosocial context from which the adolescent is. So, we hypothesize that the detachment in an adolescent population with delinquent behaviours is a " detached detachment" The subject avoids any emotional feeling. The detachment for young people who are hospitalised in child and adolescent psychiatry follows a depressive way. These adolescents cannot handle emotional rush. Finally, the detachment for the general young population can evolve according to a more anxious way. Then, we can talk about an " attached detachment" Thanks to a best knowledge of the separation kind that the adolescents play, we will be able to help them more with the symptoms they show. The " detachment clinic" is born! © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
