In a preparatory space for PIPOL 11: "Clinic and Critique of Patriarchy", a virtual meeting was held on May 3rd under the title: "Adolescence and the Decline of Patriarchy", organised by Valentina La Rosa from the SLP Secretariat of Catania. Coordinated by Dario Alparone, the works of Omar Battisti and Guy Poblome, have given imputus to an interesting reflection on the delicate transition of adolescence today and on the position of the psychoanalyst in the clinical and educational field at a time when, quoting Lacan, "the father no longer impacts the family".
