Scientific journal The Pedagogical Process: Theory and Practice

The article considers the family as a basic social institution and the reference environment of a person from the moment of his birth and throughout his life. The phenomenon of a normal family is analyzed and its objective criteria from the position of the system approach are determined. Universal (through) and dynamic (changing with sociocultural changes) family functions are defined. The definition and characteristics of an abnormal and problem family are given in the measurements of the structure, conditions and quality of functioning. The concepts of the problem (dysfunctional) family presented in the professional literature are analyzed and the logic of assigning families to the category of problem families is justified. It is shown that the family is called problematic if it is characterized by a significant and prolonged disruption of the function of biological, social and psychological reproduction. Typical internal problems are described and features of the solution of these problems in the dysfunctional (problem) family are shown. The features of the socio-psychological resources of the problem family and the possible consequences of the «unsuccessful» socialization of children in problem families are shown. A prognostic explanatory model of the child's socialization in a problem family of any type is proposed. The main idea of the concept of social and psychological support of a problem family is identified, based on three provisions: 1) external social and psychological support, including professional psychological support; 2) activation of internal psychological resources of the family to strengthen its educational and socializing functions; 3) correction and secondary prevention of violations of the socialization of children in the family environment.

Key words:  abnormal family;  dysfunctional (problematic) family;  normal family;  objective criteria of a normal family;  reproductive family functions;  socialization.
