Introduction: the formation of new families with a history of family life projects frustration is a trend in Pinar del Río, which coexists with the lack of organizational arrangements for achieving the current project. Objective: to characterize the process of family reconstitution in families from the city of Pinar del Rio passing through it in the period 2-5 years of its establishment. Material and methods: a descriptive study of multiple cases that responded to a qualitative methodology. Thirteen families belonging to Luis Augusto Turcios Lima University Outpatient Clinic were studied in 2012. The techniques applied were: individual and family interviews, family curve and family map, family shield, family life curve, drawing of family and rating scale. Results: predominant feelings of failure that influenced the expectations of people to conceptualize the new family and the differentiation between the traditional family and the new family, in the first stage. The second stage was characterized by the distribution of family tasks by the parental subsystem, aimed at the restructuring of roles at the expense of the resolution of emotional conflicts. Conclusions: were identified two stages defined by the transition to cohabitation. Not recognized was the need to plan actions based on changes in the family, so the jobs performed predominantly had a spontaneous character. The families granted a double valence to family reconstitution.
