Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] Body image, pubertal development, identity are fascinating and always current concepts when it comes to adolescence, as well as essential for understanding the different development trajectories of this phase of life. The numerous changes in puberty lead to continuous modifications and reorganizations of the body's representations with obvious repercussions on the adolescent's psychic world, making it necessary to identify the key factors underlying this process. The volume, through an updated theoretical discussion on the subject, intends to present an ideal path that starts with research and unfolds in the construction and activation of interventions "in the field". The text is aimed at all the workers who work with and for adolescents, offering them methodologies and tools useful for planning and implementing prevention and health promotion paths, in different educational contexts.
