Abstract

The purpose of tlús work was to analyze the elabora­r ion of the child and youthful mourning through the study of children and teenagers histories who requested for help in the Mental Health Service of Parla after the one of their paren tes loss ( due to deod or separar ion). Moreover, we tried to determine if the presence of subs­titute figures and rhe relationship with the family exerrs a modulator effect o ver the adaptation leve! of the chil­dren. The sample consisted of 35 individuals. We used a questionnaire to pick up infonnation about the varia­bles hypothetically relevan! in the mouming elabora­tion. The only variable which showed a statistically sig­nificant dependency with the adaptation leve[ was the relationship with the family of the lost or discontinuous parental figure.
