DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY

Аннотация

Dysfunctional families are fertile ground for neglect, abuse, secrecy, addiction , or denial. In these family systems, children’s emotional needs go unmet because the parents’ needs take precedence.One or both parents might be suffering from a substance use disorder, personality disorder, or mood disorder. Sometimes, the adults in these families have authoritarian “my way or the highway” parenting styles or have a toxic and abusive relationship with each other.In other cases, parents are emotionally immature or unavailable—caught up in workaholism , shopaholism, gambling , overeating, adulterous affairs , or other pursuits.This article shows meaning of title.
