The continuity and bonding process that stretches from early adolescence to the end of adolescence has been paid little attention in non-clinical populations and has almost been neglected in high-risk populations. In the Clinical Psychology Programme for Adolescents of the Buenos Aires University, Prevention, Assistance and Research activities are carried out for adolescents with high psychic and somatic vulnerability related to their family constellation and the socio-economic environment where they live. The epidemiological studies done on the consulting population have shown high prevalence of ideations and suicide attempts, Alexithymia and Traumatic Life Events as well as an underestimation of the risk which leads to acting-out behaviours. Besides, three moments of Drop-outs were detected, that was why new therapeutic techniques were developed such as the Bond and Representation Framework Group (BRFG) and the Focused Therapy Group (FTG).

Keywords : Adolescence; Antisocial and self-destructive behaviour; Epidemiological study; New therapeutic techniques.
