PRINCIPLES OF POLYPROFESSIONAL CORRECTION OF MENTAL STATES DEPRIVATION IN CHILDREN

One of the objectives of deprivation states study in children is to develop a broad system and multidimensional approach both to the problem of diagnosis, and its correction and rehabilitation. Multi-disciplinary nature of the research identified not only a comprehensive diagnosis, but also multi-vector correction, where the main focuses were three areas of impact. They are: the vector of individual mental functioning or its disorders; the vector of interpersonal relationships and disorders of functional patterns within the system "child - family"; the vector of interpersonal relations and disorders within the system "child - school". In the process of individual psychological development correction a specialist is involved in the system of relations of the child with family and neighborhood. The target in this case is the boundary between the parents, the inner world of the child and deviations in his development. It is not an easy task to isolate the work with the child from the entire system of correction. Therefore, the primary purpose of psycho-correction process is not to establish "closed" relations with the child, but to improve the surrounding micro-social environment, even at individual work. In contrast to individual therapeutic approaches, family therapy specifically focuses on the changes in interaction between family members. The aim of remedial work is to reshape and / or improve the communication, and hence the level of family functioning. In family-centered methods of influence, priority is given to relationships between family members and their development. Communication skills training, problem solving and psychological learning approaches are very important in the complex psychological assistance. Sometimes a specialist may exclude the family out of the correctional complex, considering that the problems of the child are not associated with depriving characteristics of the family functioning or, on the contrary, due to the fact that the family is the source of neglecting and rejection of the child. In this case, inadequate use of the therapeutic potential of family circumstances (or of their unjust neglect) can only aggravate the mental condition of the child. Concepts and techniques of family therapy can be used in the school field. In certain situations in the research process, considerable success has been achieved with the help of training sessions, including the level of the administration and teachers of the school. The aim of this work was to break the vicious circle of negative transactions, which include teachers and pupils with problems they are not able to break. To affect those system members, who are most clearly aware of the need for change (the teachers) seemed more appropriate, but often it was hard for them to realize that they first have to change.
