Summary/Abstract: Modern family is increasingly exposed to the threat of the impact of various social phenomena, which are largely the result of the processes of political, economic change, as well as cultural phenomena, diffusion of new styles of functioning in society. Common causes of dysfunctional families are: alcohol and other drugs, behaviors associated with aggression and violence against members of a family, juvenile delinquency and adult self-destructive behavior, family breakdown, narrowed emotional relationship in the family, the pathological behavior of parents. The imprisonment of the perpetrator does not just affect the person staying in the in prison, but the entire family system, so the most appropriate definition of the concept seems to be imprisoned family.
