Consequences of accompanying youth welfare services for subjectivation processes of addressees in challenging youth welfare processes

Adolescents in challenging youth welfare processes are well-known as ‘System Crashers’. Affected young people act beyond the constructions of normality that are expected of them and their behaviour. The youth welfare system often reacts with exclusion and termination of residential youth welfare measures. In response to this, flexible youth welfare service is set up in some cases with the aim to accompany those affected as unconditionally as possible. In this doctoral thesis, a qualitative research approach is used to investigate the consequences for the subjectivation processes of adolescents as addressees of challenging youth welfare service processes.
