Abstract
Self-awareness implies a self-referentiality that accompanies any event carried out in the waking state and is a condition for the regulation of human behaviour. The key elements in the evolution of self-consciousness and subjectivation are the processes of symbolization and identification which allow the gradual shaping of an identity. In the last decade, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, in all social fields there has been a general reorientation from reality to virtual reality, with consequences for the normal process of the identity development. Vulnerable categories, such as children and mentally ill people, are strongly influenced by this shift, with a change in the psychiatric phenomenology.
