"Child-Adult" Transition - Adolescence: When Illness Appears…. Endocr Dev. 2018 Jun 08;33:10-16 Authors: Malivoir S, Gueniche K Abstract Considering the patient's transition from child to adolescent to adult and its psychological aspects in endocrinology and diabetology, it is necessary to recall the child's psycho-affective development when he enters adolescence. Indeed, adolescence appears paradigmatic of the "child-adult" transition; it is a specific and decisive psychic process which allows the child to become an adult, that is to say autonomous and subject to his desire. In our paper, we study the resonance of a chronic disease in young people; type 1 diabetes is chosen. PMID: 29886480 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
