What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the perceptions of adolescents aged 12 to 18 with post-traumatic stress disorder regarding their psychotherapy experiences. It focuses on the complexity of trauma in young people, considering various factors such as the type of trauma, developmental impact, and social contexts. Through semi-structured interviews and validated questionnaires, the study seeks to identify key elements that contribute to therapeutic change, including the therapeutic alliance and patient experiences. The findings aim to enhance psychotherapeutic management tailored to the unique needs of traumatized adolescents.
