A Case of Family Dysfunction and Teenage Suicide Attempt: Applicability of a Family Systems Paradigm.

Koopmans, Matthijs

Adolescence, v30 n117 p87-94 Spr 1995

Investigated the relationship between adolescents' suicidal behavior and family dysfunction by focusing on the concepts of boundary transgression, double-bind interactions, and the demarcation of family kinship roles. Explores the possibility that suicidal behavior is a double-bind response to contradictions in the way families distribute roles and responsibilities. (RJM)
