Abstract

Background. An important feature of psychosocial nanism is its openness to corrective influences. However, in residential care facilities, it is possible to provide only external conditions that guarantee physical security but do not form a feeling of social attachment.

Materials and methods.

The sample consisted of the LWPC children of preschool age brought up in an orphanage (25 people) and in foster families (25 people). Results. In LWPC children from an orphanage, the type of attachment relationship in the final diagnosis has insignificant changes in comparison with the initial diagnosis.
