“…In Mahler's [1975] terminology one would say that these children have not passed through the separation/individuation phase successfully. Our results support the well-known claim that asthmatic children are more dependent than normal children of the same age [Williams, 1975],…”

“…These signs are lacking in the asthma group. Four subjects in the asthmatic group had no color responses at all, indicating an impaired ability to relate emotionally to their surroundings [Williams, 1975]. The asthma group also showed a significantly lower F+% (t = 4.43; p < 0.000), New F+% (t= 3.16, p < 0.01) and significantly higher At°/o (Mann-Whitney, p < 0.01) compared to the control group.…”

This paper presents the results of a Rorschach assessment of a group of children with severe asthma (n = 21) compared to a control group (n = 21) of normal school children, matched for age and intellectual abilities. The design allows comparable data on total responses, movement, forms, color and other determinants. The mode of perception differs significantly between the groups. These differences will be discussed according to old hypotheses of personality traits as causative factors in the etiology of asthma.

“…Астматический приступ, согласно данной концепции, является выражением конфликта, где страх отделения от матери является первичным по отношению к бронхоспазму. Патоло-гическая привязанность матери и ребенка с брон-хиальной астмой, отмечаемая многими авторами, трактуется по-разному: ряд авторов отмечают сни-жение симптоматики при отделении ребенка от ма-тери [12], в других исследованиях, напротив, отме-чается повышение угрозы обострения при разлуке с матерью [15].…”

The current article analyzes the parental defensive styles, codes and types of upbringing in families with children diagnosed with asthma in comparison with families of healthy children. The study involved 80 families. Of these, 41 families with children with asthma (41 mothers and 37 fathers) and 39 families with children without chronic diseases (39 mothers and 38 fathers). It was revealed that the fathers of children with asthma differ in educational insecurity, and mothers have persistent educational stereotypes that interfere with effective interaction with the child. In mothers of children with asthma, non-adaptive protective styles predominate, and fathers distort, whereas in the parents of healthy children adaptive protective styles are expressed. With the cluster analysis, three groups of families with children with asthma are distinguished, differing in the level of effectiveness of family functioning. The conjugation of violations of family functioning and the severity of the asthma in a child was determined. Based on the data obtained, differentiated directions of psycho-correction for families with children with asthma are described, depending on the severity of the child's disease and the level of effectiveness of family functioning. A trial program of psychological correction was conducted, according to the described directions. The analysis of the results of the second study showed the effectiveness of the proposed program of psychological correction for families with children suffering from bronchial asthma.

A controlled trial of the effectiveness of family therapy for asthmatic children has been completed, and the results indicate that family therapy may have a part to play in the management of asthma. Our observations have shown that an interaction of psychosocial factors can have a significant effect on the course of the asthma by setting up a circular system which may ultimately lead to clinically intractable asthma, as well as intense emotional distress. Treatment is based on an understanding of the interactional model with the aim of interrupting the progressive sequence of events. A family approach is indicated when (1) emotional factors seem to be playing a significant part; (2) the asthmatic child is manifesting behaviour problems; (3) there is evidence of family psychopathology or (4) the asthma is not being reasonably well controlled with conventional methods of management.In this paper we are concerned with the families of asthmatic children, and we examine the effect the asthma has on the family and the effect the family has on the asthma. We also discuss techniques of intervention in such families. Certain assumptions are implicit :(1) Asthma is primarily a diffuse obstructive disease of airways characterized by a high degree of reversibility with appropriate therapy (Vaughan and McKay, 1975). (2) Although asthmatic children may present certain personality traits (e.g. timidity, lack of self-assertion, sensitivity, obsessional features) there is no specific personality structure amongst such children
