Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of early diagnostic and psychocorrection of neurotization of school-age children caused by their family relationships. Leading conceptual positions of scientific discussion of well-known domestic and foreign psychologists on the influence of family environment on specifics of mental development of children and adolescents, as well as on formation of their preconditions for conduct disorder, have been analyzed. The essence of the concepts of dysfunctional family, nosocentric and normocentric approaches, pre-neurotic states and neurotic development of the child’s personality has been clarified. The results of the study indicate that the main factors in the neurotization of school-age children are related to family and school, with the family creating a permanent positive or negative social and psychological environment of the child’s existence. Foreign and domestic scientists consider family psychotherapy the most effective and widespread means of psychotherapy of pediatric neuroses. At the same time, it has been found that in relevant foreign studies traditionally more attention is paid to psychotherapeutic methods, and in domestic – to medical and pedagogical.

The article substantiates the complexity and multicomponentity of the subject of study, the need to use systematic means of studying and correcting the mechanisms of emotional and volitional regulation in the behavior of the child and in relations between them and their family members as a single system.
