title: [Between the exaggerated and the exasperated clinic. Bridges, differences and rupture in child and youth mental care].
abstract: This article intends to approach a series of contrasting concepts regarding different relevant issues for the Child and Youth Mental Health. Diagnosis as a temporary and unstable assessment method. Early detection and treatment as opposed to the possibility of premature diagnoses. The possible or impossible dialogues between psychoanalysis, neuroscience and cognitive sciences. The problems associated with autism and its different theoretical approach models. The development of each of these complex aspects of the practice considers the risk of treating the child as a mere "pathological entity" and dehumanizing him and his condition from the different perspectives, disciplines and discourses, which intend to address the child and his condition. Finally this proposal aims at building bridges of dialogue, overcoming differences in order to avoid rupture.
