[Counseling of socially disadvantaged families].
Poverty includes more and more families with children. In Germany nearly every fifth child is affected by poverty. Poverty is a very hard risk for the development of children. The biographies of family living in poverty are reconstructed by representative materials of an educational counseling office in Munich which is engaged with social discrimination for 23 years. Studies of resilience are especially suited to explain the psychic impacts of poverty for children. In conjunction with the community psychology they offer impulses for the arrangement of efficient help. Finally the author presents different consulting strategies of conduct and practical examples of individual help.
