Abstract
This article wants to show the therapeutical ways used by a group of mothers to solved the health problems of their childern. We made a thorough research with these "agents" through the qualitative methods and by way of the individual interview, interviewing focal groups, field investigation and observation which comprehended 57 events. The concept of theoretical pattern was carefully used so that when we had the information needed, the recollection of data was finished. As result we can see that the mothers use different ways searching the improvement of their infants health and that the way we have to follow becomes longer through the failure of the different treatments proposed by the different agents.
