This work discusses the transformations of adolescence, confronted with the socio-historical context that determines them. New identificatory models emerged along with the post-modernity, and the intra-psychical and inter-subjective conflicts lead the contemporary youth to face an endless adolescence, without definite borders for its termination. We present two clinical vignettes that illustrate the technical difficulties for psychotherapeutically help these individuals.
