This case study explores the arriving process of an unaccompanied minor refugee in Germany and his perception of the psychosocial support he received. The aim is to elaborate possibilities to support refugee adolescents' arrival processes adequately. Two interviews—theme‐centered and narrative—were conducted and afterwards examined by a group of five researchers who used experts' validation as the analyzing tool. Four main dimensions were identified contributing to the complex dynamics in psychosocial work with unaccompanied minor refugees: (a) the distinct need for self‐determination and idealization, (b) the fight for state recognition as a legal refugee, (c) the attempt of achieving recognition by the society, and (d) the inability of building trusting and affective relationships with friends and caregivers in the host country. Thus, professionals working with unaccompanied minor refugees need to consider the adolescents' demand for self‐determination and perceive idealization not only as a defense mechanism but also as a coping strategy to survive in an unpredictable environment. Being a reliable object that can be used by the adolescent can help to establish a trusting basis for the relationship. This case study indicates that approaches of psychosocial support with unaccompanied minor refugees need to acknowledge and work with the interrelation between the inner world and the external reality of refugee adolescents.

未来前景不确定的无人陪伴的未成年难民的社会心理工作的复杂动力：一个案例研究

本案例研究探讨了一个无人陪伴的未成年难民在德国的到来过程，以及他对所获得的社会心理支持的看法。目的是阐明充分支持难民青少年到达过程的可能性。进行了两次面试（主题为主题的叙述），然后由五位研究人员进行了审查，他们使用专家的验证作为分析工具。确定了四个主要方面，这导致了无人陪伴的未成年难民在社会心理工作中的复杂动力：（a）对自决和理想化的独特需求，（b）争取国家承认其为合法难民的斗争，（c）获得社会认可，以及（d）无法与东道国的朋友和照顾者建立信任和情感关系。因此，与无人陪伴的未成年难民一起工作的专业人员需要考虑青少年对自决的需求，并将理想化不仅视为防御机制，还应将其视为在无法预测的环境中生存的应对策略。作为青少年可以使用的可靠对象，可以帮助建立这种关系的信任基础。该案例研究表明，在无人陪伴的未成年难民中提供社会心理支持的方法需要承认并与难民青少年的内心世界与外部现实之间的相互关系并开展工作。作为青少年可以使用的可靠对象，可以帮助建立这种关系的信任基础。该案例研究表明，在无人陪伴的未成年难民中提供社会心理支持的方法需要承认并与难民青少年的内心世界与外部现实之间的相互关系并开展工作。作为青少年可以使用的可靠对象，可以帮助建立这种关系的信任基础。该案例研究表明，在无人陪伴的未成年难民中提供社会心理支持的方法需要承认并与难民青少年的内心世界与外部现实之间的相互关系并开展工作。
