title: [Analogies and contrasts of familial enviornment in juveniles attempting suicide and in toxicomania].
abstract: The family situation of the young addict and the young person who has attempted suicide features anomalous relatives rather than psychiatric pathology as such. These relatives condition disturbed interpersonal relations within the family and these are responsible for the abnormal behavior of the patients. In both groups under examination, the family nucleus proved to be disturbed. Rather than the external structure of the family, the decisive factor was the communication between the various members, namely family cohesion proved to be only partial or actually inexistent in about 70% of cases. A substantial difference between the two groups was the father's affective behaviour towards his wife; the addict's father showed a prevalence of a parasitic attitude, while the mother was more hyper-protective with a tendency to establish a relationship of ambiguous dependence with the child, the young person finding it hard to release himself from this.
