ABSTRACT

It is proposed how human needs, derived from the different dimensions of our human nature, are adequately satisfied or not, by the family psycho-social functions, with positive relational values, through the life cycle and developmental process, within the context of our human systems interaction. If this is achieved, well-being feelings and mental health could be generated; otherwise problems, conflicts and ill-being feelings would occur and there might be a tendency to be manteined by recursive negative feedback circuits: complaint-countercomplaint, accusation-counteraccusation, these negative feedback circuits trap us in the past quite frequently, in resentment and rancor, in the position of “No change”, because whatever has happened is impossible to make that didn’t happened. Thus different levels of intervention are proposed, ideally emphasizing educational activities, as well as promotional mental health activities and preventive measures in face of the most common problems, before having to intervene facing greater conflicts, sometimes very difficult but not impossible to manage.
