problems around.

CASE ANALYSIS

We can see three distinct moments that seem especially significant to understanding the case and see the line of intervention.

1. The patient does not know where to go, he has traveled many places without getting in any

(a posteriori one can see that this has been a constant in his life, from family to family, changing places, with nowhere to go).

Bring toxicological problems, social, employment, family, couple, psychological.•Intervention towards the latter problems calls and offering a listening place. This announcement introduces a certain order and allows you to start the therapeutic process.

2. The second stage is marked by its relationship with the friend, which in part allows you to include a kind of "brotherhood / family" to identify with the leader's speech.

3. The third time is the symptomatic improvement, which would be where is now, as you will bear witness to their suffering, the drug loses effectiveness and the use of it is unnecessary.
