| Sumario: | Perceptions of self and family members were determined at two time periods for a sample of 30 teenage mothers and 30 non-mothers using the Family Relations Inventory and a family map exercise. Both at present and from childhood reminiscences, teen mothers perceived their mothers and sisters more positively than did non-mothers; fathers and brothers of the adolescent mothers were viewed more negatively than were those of the non-mothers. Results are discussed in light of prior explanations of adolescent motherhood with respect to family dynamics. An approach to intervention is suggested. |
