The concept of family psychology has become a very dense part of the life of modern society in recent years. Someone sees positive moments in this, while others are critical. But its essence, purpose and necessity does not change from this.
Family psychology is one of the branches of psychology, which is aimed at studying how a person develops in a family, the psychological aspects of relationships in a family structure, conflicts that arise and methods of overcoming them. It includes research conducted by sociologists, psychotherapists and psychologists.
This science reveals what a psychologically healthy family should be like, what deviations there can be in it, and how you can cope with them using the knowledge gained. It includes a number of programs, courses and trainings that are designed to provide the family with timely and constructive assistance. Such programs help guide the family in a positive direction and contribute to the development of each family member individually and their interaction with each other.
Family psychology studies dysfunctional and functional families. The first group includes a larger percentage of modern families. They close their eyes to problems or justify themselves by the fact that everyone has difficulties, there is no fulfillment of family responsibilities and a clear distribution of roles, and the needs of family members are ignored. In such an environment, there can be no warm and friendly relations. On the contrary, members of such families abuse alcohol, suffer from depression and face various forms of violence. And family psychology is concerned with helping the social unit to become functional: correctly assign roles and responsibilities, establish clear, reasonable understandable rules and boundaries, develop a respectful approach to each other, and teach how to maintain open and honest communication.
Family psychology consists of several components, and the main place in it is assigned to the relationship between spouses and between parents and children. Consistency in these areas will help to have a strong, long-lasting marriage based not only on mutual love, but also on respect, which will manifest itself at the highest level and contribute to a peaceful, calm and soft atmosphere in the family.
This science provides a lot of knowledge that in practice gives an obvious result. So it all depends on the application and the willingness to make adjustments to your life.
