Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the specificity of emigrational family functioning as a important factor for its positive adaptation in the new culture. The Theory of “Third Culture Kid” by R.H. Useem and acculturation related problems, the role of social support net and psychology of “Place-No place” by M. Augé are introduced as a possible explanation of ways of self-organizing Polish emigrational families at USA, with using the terms of family organization by S. Minuchin: cohesive-disengaged-enmeshed family systems.
Information, collected by FGI method and analyzed by qualitative methods (48 Polish parents, living at the USA) show that three types of families can be respon- sible for some ineffective acculturation strategies: “family- magnet” (high level of family cohesion, high level of group anxiety and consistent patterns of external relations, causing place’s relativism), “family-anchor” (low level of cohesion, in- consistent patterns of external relations, causing the problems of no location and mirage anchor at children and assimilation at parents) and “family-repellent” (low level of cohesion, inconsistent patterns of external relations, making problem of alienation in mother and negative assimilation in daughter).
