The purpose of this research is to determine the role played by the family in the development of antisocial behaviors in adolescents based on the study of clinical cases for the analysis of the affectation in the affective area. The systemic approach is used in the work with families from which after an exhaustive analysis three study themes were established, Role of the family, Antisocial behaviors and Emotional affections. This qualitative approach research had a phenomenological-hermeneutic design and the sample was non-probabilistic, consisting of four adolescents between 12 and 17 years old, residents of the city of Machala, El Oro province. For data collection, a first approach was made, in the same way, they were given informed consent, then a semi-structured interview accompanied by the observation technique was used, the FF-SIL instrument and Smilkstein's APGAR scale were also applied and according to the information obtained, the saturation of categories was carried out with four participants. Based on the theoretical support of the different authors, the following results were obtained, theme 1, Role of the family, from which three categories emerge, parenting styles, affective bonds and functionality; theme 2, antisocial behaviors, including hostility and aggression. Finally, theme 3 is emotional disturbances, with lack of empathy, boredom and anger. Likewise, the results of the FF-SIL instrument showed that the participants live in a moderately dysfunctional family environment, a dysfunctional environment and a severely dysfunctional environment, respectively. On the other hand, the APGAR instrument showed that the participants presented moderate dysfunctionality and severe dysfunctionality. In conclusion, the adolescents have shown that the antisocial behaviors they manifest are mainly due to the style of upbringing they have received during their lives; when examining the delinquent behaviors of the adolescents, hostility and aggressiveness are present in the examinees. It is recommended to follow up and strengthen the cases involved in the research, in order to analyze the bonds they develop over time and the manifestations of delinquent behaviors they have, with the purpose of strengthening those affective bonds of adolescents and prevent those negative bonds later on.
