This article reviews local, national and international research on the changes that have affected the contemporary family structure and have contributed to new types of family. In this case, interest has centered in know the conclusions of the researchers on single-parent families with teenagers because they have found differences in the outcomes. Some researchers point out that this type of family place the children at risk for substance abuse, crime, etc., while others say that cannot be generalized to all single- parent families. So it is important to study the role of the father leading the family, the role exerted to promote the psychological development of children. Thus we wish to study in single-parent families that are in the life stage of adolescence, its dynamics, especially limits, rules and interactional communication as aspects that organize coexistence favoring the development of its members especially teenagers in the vital task of forging their identity.
