Hablando de la madre de un paciente:
";su madre no le sirvió de contención, hasta que se suicidó."
Me parece que para evitar ambiguedades debería decir: ";hasta que se suicidó, su madre nunca le había servido de contención."
O sea algo así como: "; until commiting suicide, his mother had never contained him/ provided (emotional) containment."
Explanation: Me inclino por la interpretación de que como su madre no lo contuvo, se suicidó.
su madre no le sirvió de contención, entonces que se suicidó.
His mother had never given him any emotional support, so he committed suicide.
