The concept of family psychology has very tightly entered the life of modern society in recent years. Someone sees this as positive, while someone speaks critically. But its essence, purpose and necessity does not change from this.
Family psychology is one of the branches of psychology that is aimed at studying how a person develops in the family, the psychological aspects of relationships in the family structure, the conflicts that arise and how to overcome them. It includes research conducted by sociologists, psychotherapists and psychologists.
This science reveals what a psychologically healthy family should be like, what deviations may be in it, and how they can be dealt with using the acquired knowledge. It includes a number of programs, courses and trainings, which are aimed at ensuring timely and constructive assistance to the family. 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 turn a blind eye to problems or are justified by the fact that everyone has difficulties, there is no fulfillment of family responsibilities and a clear distribution of roles, 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 depression and experience various forms of violence. And family psychology takes care to help the unit of society become functional: to correctly distribute roles and responsibilities, establish clear, reasonable, understandable rules and boundaries, develop a respectful approach to each other, and teach to maintain open and honest communication.
Family psychology consists of several components, and the main place in it is given to the relationship between spouses and between parents and children. Coherence in these areas will help to have a strong, long-lasting marriage, based not only on mutual love, but also on respect, which will be shown at the highest level and contribute to a peaceful, calm and soft atmosphere in the family.
This science provides a lot of knowledge, which in practice gives an obvious result. So it all depends on the application and willingness to make adjustments to your life.
