Nuovo regime adulto: liberi di fare, non di essere | Matteo Lancini | TEDxMilano

In the past, children and adolescents' growth wasn't free at all: you had to obey. Today, children and adolescents are made a promise: you have to understand, and in exchange, you'll be freer. But freer of what? Matteo Lancini, psychologist and psychotherapist, is president of the Minotauro Foundation, where he directs the Technological Addictions team and the adolescent section of the Consultation and Psychotherapy Center. He teaches at the University of Milan-Bicocca and the Catholic University of Milan. He collaborates with various newspapers and writes for La Stampa. His latest book is entitled Be Yourself My Way. Being Adolescents in the Age of Adult Fragility (Cortina, 2023). His latest books: The Adolescent. Psychopathology and Developmental Psychotherapy (with L. Cirillo, T. Scodeggio, T. Zanella, Cortina, 2020), The Betrayed Age. Beyond the Commonplaces About Adolescents (Cortina, 2021), Children of the Internet. How to Help Them Grow Through Narcissism, Sexting, Cyberbullying, and Social Withdrawal (with L. Cirillo, Erickson, 2022), Be Yourself My Way: Being Adolescents in the Age of Adult Fragility (Cortina, 2023). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
