- Abstract
- (en) Background. – The differentiation process is both a crucial and central issue in gemellar psychodynamics. It is a complex, multifaceted process (conscious and unconscious) and therefore important to specify. This approach in parallel prompted important questions concerning what would be the best therapeutic setting in the perspective of a psychotherapeutic treatment, particularly concerning the need for a separate setting or not for each child. Method. – This study is based on the analysis of a clinical case concerning 11 years old twin boys under psychotherapeutic treatment. Findings. – Different stages and their dynamics in the psyche that underlie the differentiation process are analysed, both in the twins and in those close to them. A hypothesis emerged which suggested that differentiation can be forced on and be more seemingly established than truly accomplished. As for the modalities of a therapeutic setting, they need to be thought over again and again in close echo to the twins state of differentiation. Conclusion. – In twins, differentiation can be more apparent than achieved. Therefore, the state of the differentiation process needs to be determined because it closely interacts with the choice of the therapeutic setting.
