Summary – ELENA’S CASE STUDY: FROM THE SOCIAL WITHDRAWAL TO A WORK ALLIANCE.
The situation presented in this case study describes the clinical work done with an adolescent girl with high
functioning autistic syndrome. This condition resulted in a gradual social withdrawal which influenced the
initial engagement and the establishment of the Work Alliance. This paper comes from the need to have a
comparison with the trainers/instructors at the internship, but the primary need is to engage with the Adlerian
community on the theme of adolescent social withdrawal which is a much more common occurence
we see with generation than with adolescents in prior generations.
