Problem of integrative family research
The article deals with the application of an integrative approach to the family study. The Integrative approach involves research of reality objects, including the family together with all the properties from neurodynamic to socio-psychological. The model of integrative family study, including marital and parent-child relationships was created. The analysis of the study results showed that harmony of the integral structure of couples is due to the stability of family relationships and does not depend on ethnicity of spouses, but on coherence of the family values and conformity of these values to universal moral norms. Harmony of the parent-child relationship is determined by the level of preparedness for maternity and parental type of relationship. In this case the type of parental relationship is a ﬂexible characteristic and must comply with stages of the child's development. Thus, in the preschool years excessive emotional contact is most preferable. In a primary school age and adolescence it is optimal emotional contact.
