Can Fam Physician. 1980 Nov;26:1563-7.
The treatment of runaway children or teenagers has a particular role for the family physician in managing this increasingly common "symptom". It may be an indication on one hand of healthy, independent striving and on the other hand the final desperate act of a child in an intolerable family situation. Many such situations revolve around adapting to a "new" family constellation, especially new stepfathers or boyfriends of the mothers.
对于家庭医生来说,治疗离家出走的儿童或青少年在处理这种日益常见的“症状”方面具有特殊作用。一方面,这可能表明孩子在健康、独立地奋斗,另一方面,这也可能是孩子在无法忍受的家庭环境下的最后绝望之举。许多此类情况都围绕着适应“新”的家庭结构展开,尤其是母亲的新继父或新男友。
