Modern Experience of Systemic Response to Difficulties Among Children and Adults in Problem Families

The article provides some examples of research approaches while working with families in situations of serious risk to their psychological well-being and the adequate fulfillment of parenthood function. The aspects that should be taken into account when developing strategies for psychological support in relation to families with problems of addictiveness (dependence and co-dependence) are discussed here. The distinctive features of the development of the scientific school in this direction are shown — the consolidation of ideas and the obligatory presence of a scientific and evidence-based conceptual base. An idea is given about the level of targeted research developments of individual and systemic aspects of working with such families in domestic and foreign literature. Data on the structure and functioning of the latest team support strategies in the practice of several foreign psychological scientific schools are presented. The importance of forming the skill of teamwork in the course of direct work of specialists with the family is shown too.
