[The role of caregivers in crisis day treatment programs for adolescents: Limits in the service of care].

Abstract

Program 10-15 is a crisis day hospital for adolescents. Its operations are inspired by institutional psychiatry and the systemic approach. This article describes the use of institutional, educational, and relational boundaries in their role as a source of containment and for therapeutic purposes. Through the presentation of a clinical case study, it illustrates the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork in using boundaries as a therapeutic tool. Opportunities for reflection and sharing within the team are described as necessary to prevent the blurring of professional identities and burnout.
