Abstract

SCHNEIDER, Ana Cláudia Nuhlmann  and  RAMIRES, Vera Regina Röhnelt. Parental bonding and social support: relation with depressives symptoms on adolescence. Aletheia [online]. 2007, n.26, pp.95-108. ISSN 1413-0394.

The present study evaluated the depressive symptoms, parental influence and social support in the behavior of 11 teenagers of both genders and with ages between 12 and 18 years old, which attended Psychological Service. The data was collected from interviews and through the application of Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), human body drawings, Parental Bonding Instrument tests and from the Social Support Measure Scale (MOS). The results indicate that teenagers with depressive symptoms have inadequate parental bonding and insufficient social support. Even though the evaluated sample was limited, the results highlight the relevance of such matter and the need of enhancing social and parental bonding in order to provide safety and biopsychosocial health.

Keywords : Adolescent Depression; Parental bonding; Social Support.
