โœฆ Synopsis

This study involved 12 in-depth interviews of inner city rehabilitating substance abusers. An exploration of their perception about their families of origin and their families of today was the purpose of this study. The topic outline, coding system, and qualitative analysis was guided by concepts of the framework of systemic organization. Common family characteristics were lack of togetherness, nonexistent or peripheral role of fathers, and underused or overused controlling power with victimization of the weakest. Regenerative strengths were seen in some families. Family integration of addicts seemed more difficult than anticipated by the subjects and demanded major changes in family processes.
