title: [The familial emotional whirlpool syndrome].
abstract: Good intentions and positive emotions of strong potentials predominantly directed toward children are singled out from the group of pathology of familial relationships. Nevertheless, they have negative effects just on children which are the objects of good intentions. By a more profound analysis of very complex emotional relationships a dominant personality--antecedent is detected which authoritatively imposes ethic and behavioural norms taking thus function both of parents and the next generation. Members of family react in various ways in dependence on their structure but they always show their emotional link. Opposition to the dominant person leads to the permanent emotional tension and conflicts which create a maelstrom in which newly come members are also emotionally engaged or rejected always in accordance with the attitudes of dominant person. The problem could be solved only by the therapeutic approach to the whole family. Positive attitudes toward children could be the factor for establishing cooperation with the therapist of the family.
