We are going to deal with the cases of the father's abandonment and the child coming from unknown parents, relying on the clinical approach by using a case study with the help of several techniques among which observation and the free and oriented interviews.

The technique of free drawing as an emptiness and projective method is used.

We are also going to use the scale of the concept of self amongst children.

The results of the research reveals that several psychological symptoms for both cases, among which lack of self-confidence and a negative view towards oneself and others.

Besides, there is a conflict between internal tendencies and what they achieve on the ground.

Also, the difficulty in establishing social relationships which affected their ability for a psychological and social reconciliation.

This led to the formation of a negative self concept about their body from the social and mental aspects.

This was confirmed by children's self concept scale, which indicated a decrease in the level of self concept in the two categories (father's abandonment and children from unknown parents) which confirms that the family disintegration affects the self concept of the child and leads to its decline.
