Questo contributo presenta un intervento psicologico rivolto a giovani adulti che hanno contratto una malattia oncologica sistemica durante l’adolescenza. L’intervento trova il suo fondamento in quattro riferimenti teorici: la specificità della malattia oncologica diagnosticata in adolescenza; il costrutto di body image, per l’importanza che esso riveste in questo periodo dello sviluppo e in ragione di quanto le cure necessarie per combattere la malattia danneggino il corpo; il terzo presupposto riguarda la narrazione autobiografica che facilita la costruzione ermeneutica del senso degli eventi; l’ultimo presupposto rimanda all’utilizzo del ritratto fotografico, esperienza che consente al soggetto di sperimentare ed esprimere emozioni, pensieri e ricordi al fine di una miglior comprensione di sé. La delineazione di due casi, corredata da alcuni scatti fotografici completerà la descrizione dell’intervento in oggetto.;
