Dziecko w sytuacji rozwodu rodziców
Child in the Situation of Parents’ Divorce

Summary/Abstract: Divorce is a significant event in the life of every family member. It can be considered from individual, diadic and family perspectives. In this text it will be considered mainly in the family context and in relation to the youngest members of this unique community. For children, divorce means the loss of a complete family and involves a number of immediate and deferred effects of the parents’ divorce that have a traumatic impact on their lives. A particular dimension of divorce situations is “bargaining for the child” in all phases of the divorce process. Being an object of manipulation, indoctrination and a tool in the parents’ conflict, children experience great harm – painful feelings, a failure to satisfy needs important for their development. Therefore, it is invaluable to support families and their children in divorce situations. Selected examples of forms of psychological and pedagogical assistance in the indicated aspect close the considerations on one of the most difficult problems of social life and one of the greatest threats to the modern family.
