N2  - This study focuses on two family-related variables linked to the issue of teenage suicide, namely communication and parental support. The purpose of the study is to compare the perceptions of suicidal and non-suicidal teenagers with those of their parents in order to better understand the relation between these variables and the issue of teenage suicide. Results confirm that communication and parental support represents a problem in families with suicidal teenagers. These dimensions are perceived more negatively by the latter subjects in comparison to the control group. In addition, the variations in perception between the adolescent and his or her parents are much greater in families with suicidal teens. This data supports the usefulness of family interventions when family problems are identified during detection measures or when counseling is requited by a suicidal teenager.<p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
