    El artículo representa un estudio empírico de la auto-relación del adolescente en una familia en la que la madre se ha vuelto a casar. En muchos estudios la auto-conciencia y su aspecto funcional – auto-relación – son seleccionados como estadíos nuevos en la adolescencia. La familia es considerada como el factor más importante en el desarrollo de la personalidad del niño y el adolescente. La revision de literatura sobre las especificidades del desarrollo infantil en una familia con segundo matrimonio presenta alguno de los problemas que los padres e hijos afrontan en ella. En el presente artículo, se discuten los problemas en las relaciones entre hijos y padres. Un hallazgo principal de este reporte es que los adolescentes de familias con padrastro tienen una auto-relación menos flexible que los adolescentes de familias con padre biológico; para tener una auto-relación positiva elolos necesitan mecanismos de defensa. Al mismo tiempo, el análisis de dibujos de los adolescentes muestra que los adolescentes de familias con padrastro se excluyen a sí mismos del sistema familiar. Además, el artículo discute las diferencias de género en la auto-relación en los dos tipos de familias.

    This article represents an empirical study of adolescent's self-relation in a family where the mother has re-married. In many studies self-awareness and its functional aspect – self-relation – are selected as new stages in adolescence. The family is considered to be the most important factor in a child's and adolescent's personality development. Literature reviews on the specifics of a child's development in a family with a second marriage present some of the problems facing the parents and children in it. In the present article, problems of relations between children and parents are discussed. A principal finding of this report is that adolescents from families with a stepfather have a less flexible self-relation than adolescents from families with the biological father; to have a positive self-relation they need defence mechanisms. At the same time, analysis of adolescents' drawings shows that adolescents from families with a stepfather exclude themselves from the family system. In addition, the article discusses gender differences in self-relation in two types of families.
