- Abstract:
- The chapter examines child centeredness as a systemic phenomenon from the perspective of a systemic family approach and a theoretical and methodological analysis of 30 scientific sources and regulatory historical contexts. Special attention is paid to the mechanism of role inversion, in which one of the parents compensatorily replaces unmet needs for marital intimacy and emotional attachment with relationships with a child («substituting love»). The historical and sociocultural prerequisites for the formation of child centeredness in Russia have been analysed, and statistical trends in the stability of marriage have been compared with the growth of child centered attitudes. Based on a content analysis of works by domestic and foreign authors, a comprehensive theoretical and psychological model of the escalation of marital conflict through triangulation and parentification of the child has been proposed, and hypotheses have been formulated for subsequent empirical testing.
