Abstract

Zdrava i poticajna obitelj pruža pomoć i potporu djetetu te dovodi do pozitivnih razvojnih ishoda. S druge strane, velik broj djece živi u rizičnoj obitelji u kojoj doživljavaju različite nepovoljne životne događaje.

Najčešće istraživani nepovoljni životni događaji uključuju tjelesno, seksualno i emocionalno zlostavljanje, zanemarivanje te izloženost različitim nepovoljnim životnim okolnostima. Navedeni događaji često se javljaju istodobno, što predstavlja povećani rizik. Iskustvo ovakvih događaja dovodi do dugoročnih negativnih posljedica na partnerske odnose djeteta u odrasloj dobi. Mnoga istraživanja kao obrazloženje takvog utjecaja navode teoriju privrženosti prema kojoj stil privrženosti razvijen u odnosu s primarnim skrbnikom utječe na stil privrženosti koji se razvija u odnosu s partnerom. Dijete procesom socijalnog učenja usvaja obrasce ponašanja svojih roditelja, načine rješavanja sukoba, međusobnog ophođenja te takve obrasce koristi u vlastitom partnerskom odnosu. Utjecaj nepovoljnih životnih događaja na samopoštovanje djeteta, izražavanje emocija, prepoznavanje emocija drugih, komunikaciju, intimnost, povjerenje u druge, emocionalnu regulaciju, dovodi do raznih poteškoća u partnerskom odnosu u odrasloj dobi.

Kako bi se prekinuo međugeneracijski prijenos loših obrazaca partnerskog i roditeljskog funkcioniranja i unaprijedila kvaliteta vlastitog partnerskog odnosa, važna je dostupnost usluga savjetovanja, bračne terapije, terapije za parove, medijacije. Također, važno je osvijestiti utjecaj primarne obitelji te odbaciti osobnu odgovornost za negativna iskustva iz djetinjstva.

A healthy and stimulating family provides help and support to the child and leads to positive development outcomes. On the other hand, a large number of children live in high-risk families and experience different adverse events.

A healthy and stimulating family provides help and support to the child and leads to positive development outcomes. On the other hand, a large number of children live in high-risk families and experience different adverse events.

The most frequently researched adverse life events include physical, sexual and emotional abuse, neglect, and exposure to various adverse life circumstances. These events often occur at the same time, which poses an increased risk. The experience of such events leads to long-term negative consequences on the romantic relationships of the child in adulthood. Many studies cite the theory of attachment as the rationale for such an impact, according to which the attachment style developed in relation to the primary caregiver influences the attachment style that develops in relation to the romantic partner. In the process of social learning, the child adopts their parents' behavior patterns, the ways of resolving conflicts, and interpersonal behavior, and uses such patterns in their own romantic relationship. The impact of adverse life events on a child's self-esteem, expression of emotions, recognition of the emotions of others, communication, intimacy, trust in others, and emotional regulation leads to various difficulties in romantic relationships in adulthood.

In order to break the intergenerational transmission of bad patterns of partner and parental functioning and to improve the quality of one's own romantic relationships, the availability of counselling services, marital therapy, couples’ therapy, and mediation plays an important role. It is also important to be aware of the influence of the primary family and to dismiss personal responsibility for negative childhood experiences.
