Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of child's personality in family according to the degree of relation's harmony in it. A social situation of child's development in the case of violationof relation’s harmony in family system is analyzed. It is shown that the absence of relation's harmony leads to the impossibility of satisfaction of child's basic social needs. If basic social needs are not satisfied, then a child experiences emotional pain, feeling of powerlessness, defenselessness. Living in such emotional condition is dangerous. So long remaining in such psychotraumatic situation without deformation of personal development's process is impossible. The mechanisms of psychological protection work out so, that negative feelings are driven inside. Naturally it occurs subconsciously. With age as the child grows older he/she just forgets about psychotraumatic situations. However, experienced feelings don’t disappear, they are postponed in subconscious and produce «the sites of pain». In the future new similar impressions lay over these «sites of pain» and this causes personality distortions. The absence of harmonious relationships in the family causes child's controversial attitude to his/her parents, which keeps the child in constant stress. It leads to negative consequences. Types of distortions in personal development depend on the fact what basic social needs were not satisfied in childhood. Personal development can occur in such directions: 1) the emergence of egocentrism, when a child perceives other peoples as a tool (or an obstacle) for achieving his/her goals. The child begins to be fond of only himself (compensational egoism), loses confidence in people, ability to sympathy, sincerity; doesn’t learn to help people and cannot ask for help; 2) rejection of “Ego image”, when a child devalues himself, feels himself unable to do anything, unnecessary to anyone and lives with feeling of emptiness in the heart, which continues to be the reason of addictive behavior; 3) formation of hypersociality (perfectionism), when a person all his life tries to prove that he is worth of respect, and therefore makes an overpower in professional growth, or in accumulation of material goods, or in trying to please everybody.
