The word “Family” means people who live together and run a joint household. There is an
emotional connection between these people in the family. However, if to speak about “a
dysfunctional family” there is still no definite explanation. When people want to describe the notion “a
dysfunctional family”, several synonymic word combination can be used instead: a disadvantaged
family, a destructive family, families who are at a high risk, inharmonious families.
All the families are different. All the families have problems and hardships, that’s why it is difficult
and the only correct answer to the question about how to assist a family, how to cooperate with the
institutions of social and pedagogical assistance. It is important to mention that intuition, mastery of a
specialist who will analyze the factors which influence on the family and then to make a decision of
how to help the family, parents and children, should be taken into consideration.
