Summary/Abstract: Aim: The aim of the paper is the review of family risk factors which are complexand dynamic, therefore they should be analysed in the ecological (systematic) approach. Methods: The paper is a theoretical review on the basis of Polish and international literature. Results: In the family microsystem there are several risk factors such as disturbance in forming attachment, incorrect parental attitudes and methods of upbringing, an unstable family structure and pathological phenomena such as: alcoholism, delinquency, low socioeconomic status. In the mesosystem risk factors include weak family relations with persons and institutions which could support the family in a crisis, whereas in the exosystem the key factors are: local environment, place of work, social assistance. In the macrosystem law, the economic level of society, social politics and changes in morals have considerable importance in maladjustment. Conclusions: The analysis of the family’s risk factors should be interactive andbased on correlation and regression models including the modifying role of personal predispositions of children and youth.
