Abstract

Addiction is not only the problem which affects the ill. That is the family, constituting the closest environment of the addicted person, that is the most vulnerable to their destructive influence. Most frequently, addiction of a family member disturbs functions and structure of the whole family system. Creation of an empirical image of the psychosocial situation of families with the problem of addiction, i.e. determination how patients of rehab facilities assess their own relationships within their families, is the main purpose of the article. Both persons addicted to psychoactive substances (such as alcohol and drugs) and persons addicted to different kinds of behaviour (mostly sex and gambling) were invited to participate in the study. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the data.
