The authors mention the necessity of an intervention program focusing on the social – emotional dimension, dimension on which the incomplete parenting situation has had an impact. The ten proposed activities carried on for three months included the following areas: self knowledge, social and emotional development. Two groups of adolescents were included in the intervention program. Significant results were found compared to control group. Implications of the study results are discussed.
