ABSTRACT – Obiective: Principalul obiectiv al acestui studiu a fost să examineze legătura dintre funcţionarea familiei şi sănătatea mentală a copiilor din familiile cu un părinte care a suferit leziuni cerebrale. În primul rând, am vrut să investigăm puterea predictivă a modului în care funcţionează familia asupra stării de bine psihologice a copiilor. În al doilea rând, diferitele subdimensiuni ale funcţionării familiei au fost examinate în vederea determinării puterii predictive a acestora pentru adaptarea psihologică a copiilor. În al treilea rând, a fost determinată valoarea predictivă a diferitelor strategii de coping la nivel de sistem familial, atât pentru funcționarea familiei, cât şi pentru adaptarea psihologică a copiilor. Metode: Pentru acest studiu au fost utilizate date de la 58 de familii. Următoarele instrumente au fost folosite: Youth Self Report, Family Crisis Oriented Personal Scales şi Family Assessment Device. Rezultate: Disfuncţionalitățile la nivel familial corelează pozitiv cu simptomatologia psihopatologică a adolescenților; patru subdimensiuni ale funcţionării familiei au avut valoare predictivă pentru problemele copiilor: receptivitatea afectivă, implicarea afectivă, roluri şi comunicare. Concluzie: Cercetarea este cu atât mai importantă cu cât studiile pe această temă sunt aproape inexistente şi se concentrează pe o categorie extrem de importantă – copiii.
