Adolescents with delayed mental development are more prone to the occurence of neurotic conflicts than their typically developing peers due to their emotional instability, heightened sensitivity, and limited adaptive resources. The article was aimed to describe the effectiveness of using associative cards in psychological correctional work aimed at overcoming neurotic conflicts in adolescents with DMD. The paper presents a specific psychotherapeutic case illustrating the characteristics of a “Can – Can” type conflict in an adolescent with DMD and its resolution through work with metaphorical cards.
