The results showed that global scales parental support and secure attachment match the reliability of Chilean validation test CaMir of Garrido and others (2006). Six participants mothers had secure attachment model and a mother with addiction disengaged according to the theory of Bowlby (1958) and type of Ainsworth (1960); in the first group, the transgenerational patterns were identified, according to the contextual approach Boszomery-Nagy (1983) debts, legacies, loyalties; and, according to the theory of Bowen (1954-1959) emotional reactions satisfaction and dissatisfaction and transmission of behaviors; these patterns arise from relationships between parents and children and grandparents who responded to the primary needs during childhood and adolescence of the participants. In the case of the mother attachment disengaged, the same transgenerational patterns are identified, but with the variant affective-emotional ambivalence in parent-child relationship. These results may also help institutions active profile surrogates to identify attachment patterns in emotional health and care of children.
