The treatment of runaway children or teenagers has a particular role for the family physician in managing this increasingly common "symptom". It may be an indication on one hand of healthy, independent striving and on the other hand the final desperate act of a child in an intolerable family situation. Many such situations revolve around adapting to a "new" family constellation, especially new stepfathers or boyfriends of the mothers.
RESUMO
This article illustrates how the assessment of the level and degree of dependency in psychotherapy can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Dependency varies with the stage of psychosexual development, with the degree and state of illness, and with the stage of treatment. Appropriate monitoring of this factor promotes optimal growth potential in the patient.
