This article presents a story, told in firs person by a young service user, about his falling in love with a nurse during his stay in the therapeutic residential facility. Marco talks to have managed the event in an atypical way, involving the entire team and his fellow patients. It was not a supervision - as happens in most cases - but an "intervision" (Bianchi et al.2009), which is a situation in which a group of professionals of different types working within the same mental health context, meet to respond to the request of a colleague to overcome a moment of impasse. It therefore involves already available resources rather than external experts. The story is relevant because it allows us to understand the potential effectiveness of such a strategy, where the client's point of view is assumed and the entire team together with the group of clients takes charge.
