The social phobia and the violation of psychological boundaries in childhood and adolescence

The article covers the issue of social phobia and its relationship with the violation of psychological boundaries in childhood and adolescence, as well as the specific features of child-parents relations. It has been found that the psychological boundaries of respondents with social phobia were violated in childhood and adolescence significantly more often than those of the respondents in the control group. The author also discusses the major factors of the psychological boundaries violation by parents, which turned out to be hostility and inconsistent behaviour of a father and the authoritarianism of a mother.
