Beschreibungen/Notizen
Adolescent drug abuse is a symptom of family system dysfunction. It reflects a defect in the normal family "launch sequence," by which the adolescent is prepared for gradual disengagement and separation from the family of origin. Malfunctioning patterns of interaction characteristic of families of drug abusers are described, as is the central role played by impaired mourning and impacted grief. Family therapy is recommended as the treatment of choice in preparing the youthful drug abuser to resume the launch sequence and achieve successful separation and individuation from his or her family.
