Abstract

The paper includes a review of the consequences for the child’s personality that follow from a psychic trauma that generates feelings of helplessness and dependence on others. There is a discussion of the psychological resources that the child develops in the process of his or her personality formation, as well as a discussion of the psychological defence mechanisms and coping processes that allow coping with hardships. Relationships with family members, mother, first of all, play a special role in the development of the child’s mental well-being.
