In this article, the author puts in perspective two models of analysis of the system: the family/community system for E. Dessoy, and the individual system for L. Szondi. In her Doctoral thesis about the parentification of the child, the author used both models to understand the process in all its complexity. Indeed, the understanding of the parentification phenomenon by the simultaneous reading of the individual and family plans has proven to be extremely rich. To that end, the idea was to build some « bridges » between the model of E. Dessoy and that one of L. Szondi, in order to have a reading that, instead of a simple superposing of models, work towards the proposal of a « metamodel ». It is this proposal which the author delivers in this paper.

The authors have tested with help of Szonditest 68 male Tarahumaras from 5 to 80 years old. It appears that there is no difference between all these subjects. Also it seems that there is only one pattern of personnality by them. They have no individual but a collective ego and the drives are oriented in the same direction. That is probably true for the other socalled primitive people. [less ▲]
