Classification of role models of fatherhood
For a long time, it has been believed in society that a man should be the breadwinner in the family, and a woman should be the keeper of the hearth and raise children. However, from the point of view of psychology, both parents should take part in the upbringing of the child, since each of them plays an important role in the development of the personality of the baby. Based on Rosstat data, it can be noted that in 2021, 644,207 thousand couples officially divorced, and the number of single-parent families in Russia has grown by 30% in recent years. Doctor of Psychology Vladimir Nikolaevich Druzhinin believed that although the state declared equality between parents in relation to the child, the current realities and legislation show a completely different thing, since during a divorce, the child almost always remains with his mother, in the absence of good reasons. Such a policy alienates the father from his children, and his upbringing fades into the background, so the problem of fathers and children remains relevant today. This problem is observed not only in Russia, but also in other countries, so we can assume that it has a global scale. At the same time, a father performs certain educational functions that are different from the functions of a mother, and puts in consciousness of a child something that a mother cannot give. Children growing up in single-parent families often have psychological trauma and wear "masks", for example, the "abandoned - addict" mask by Liz Burbo. In view of this, such people experience difficulties in adult life in various areas, beginning with personal life - building a family and raising their own children, and ending with a career - building relationships with colleagues.
