- Abstract
This article try to explain the diversity of the experiences of the reconstituted families and the courses that lead to the reconstruction, based on a theoretical and practical approach. First, the bibliography review illustrates the diversity of rebuilt families structures in terms of the exercise of their different roles, the running of the families and their development processes. Then, the article presents the results of a qualitative research with 58 parents and stepfathers who lived or have lived in a situation of rebuilding family. The aim is to document how the reconstruction take part in the background of life of the people who rebuild a family. Based on 3 classification criteria, there are 5 different paths. The results shows a significant variation in the nature and the chain of events that make up all of these courses and shows that some of these are more characteristic of older members, reflecting the changes which happened in recent decades in marital and parental formations. Some courses are more typical of people who play the role of parents and the other one who play the stepfather role.
