Abstract We know that there are significant differences between generations of our patients in certain aspects related to the differences in historical and socioeconomic circumstances of their development. New informational technologies – smartphones and mobile Internet – are taking the role of an ever-present auxiliary ego for the generations born in the twenty-first century. This development is influenced by the characteristics of these technologies and by changes in parenting patterns. Psychoanalytic literature tends to focus on only the negative influences of these factors on the development of personality, identity, and interpersonal relationships. Probably this reflects our own fears about the invasion of new technologies into our lives and limits our understanding of the possible positive potential of these technologies for the younger generations. We still need to gain a better understanding of what it brings to our analytic work, and our transference–countertransference relationships with adolescent patients.

Z世代——每天（与一个）辅助自我生活在一起

摘要 我们知道，我们的患者在某些方面存在显着差异，这与他们发展的历史和社会经济环境的差异有关。新的信息技术——智能手机和移动互联网——正在为 21 世纪出生的几代人扮演一个永远存在的辅助自我的角色。这种发展受到这些技术的特点和育儿模式变化的影响。精神分析文献往往只关注这些因素对人格、身份和人际关系发展的负面影响。这可能反映了我们自己对新技术入侵我们生活的恐惧，并限制了我们对这些技术对年轻一代可能产生的积极潜力的理解。我们仍然需要更好地理解它给我们的分析工作带来了什么，以及我们与青少年患者的移情-反移情关系。
