Summary/Abstract: The study presents results of research on family adaptation pattern in situation of unemployment distress. Theoretical basis is McMaster Model of Family Functioning, modified by P. Steinhauer. The method was Family Questionaire, by M. Cierpka (C i e r p k a, E r e v e r t, 1994) based on Family Assessment Measure III, by P. S t e i n h a u e r et al. (1984). Subjects was unemployed men (23) and women (22) and their families. The results suggest serious disfunctions in every family system dimensions, except affective involvement. The threat of crisis is deeper in families of unemployed men, whose self-assessment as family member is strongly connected with disfunction of whole family system.
