Models of family assistance (including dysfunctional, problematic),
models that can be used in social rehabilitation work:
1) The pedagogical model is based on the hypothesis of the lack of pedagogical competence of parents. The subject of the complaint is, as a rule, the child, in this case, although the parent is the cause of the trouble, it is not openly considered, and the consultant is guided not so much by the individual capabilities of the child’s parents, as by the universal methods of upbringing from the point of view of pedagogy and psychology.
2) The educational model is singled out by some authors [Ovcharova R.V.; 2001], differs from the pedagogical one in that it is preventive in nature. It is aimed at improving the psychological and pedagogical culture of parents, expanding and restoring the educational and rehabilitation potential of the family, and the active involvement of parents in the process of socialization of the child.
3) The social model is used when family difficulties are the result of unfavorable circumstances. In these cases, in addition to the analysis of the life situation, the intervention of external forces is required.
4) The psychological (psychotherapeutic) model is used when the causes of difficulties of a person with a disability lie in the field of communication, personal characteristics of family members. Practical assistance consists in overcoming the barriers of communication and the causes of its disruption.
5) The diagnostic model is based on the assumption that parents lack special knowledge about the child or their family. The object of diagnosis is not only children with behavioral disorders and deviations, but also the family itself.
6) The medical model assumes that family difficulties are based on the diseases of the child or family members, in this case, the task of helping the family is to adapt healthy family members to sick ones.
7) The rehabilitation model is based on strengthening the position of the family with the identification of its strengths, needs, resources and reliance on them in the rehabilitation process. Partnerships are established between the family of a person with disabilities and rehabilitation specialists, the family is actively involved in planning, decision-making and implementation of activities to achieve rehabilitation goals.
