FAMILY IDENTITY OF IMPRISONED WOMEN, HAVING A KID IN CHILDRENS HOME OF THE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY: GENERALITIES AND TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

The article presents the research results of
family identity of the imprisoned women who have had a
baby during the term of serving their punishment. The article
considers the concept of family identity in structural,
attitudinal and cognitive aspects. Special attention is given
to the peculiarities of family identity the imprisoned women
have: broadening of the identified structure of a family; infringement
of generation sequences, opposition of male
and female structure of a family; connection of emotional
attachment to a family with its ill-being and the importance
of female structure; evidence of the destructive aspects of
parental attitude; an estimation of a family and themselves
as members of a family in ambivalent characteristics of being
in line with social norms and standards. The authors
single out qualitatively specific groups of the imprisoned
women taking into consideration the special features of
family identity. It is shown that for each group of women
there are certain family objects to whom they express
emotional non-acceptance.
