ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to emphasize the decisive impact that the family has on a person’s development, to record and interpret the reasons of the multiform overload of the parents today and its consequences in the family life—based on contemporary psychological views and research—as well as to suggest certain fundamental ways of supporting the family and the parents. More specifically, the suffocating and unbearable psychological pressure of the parents is to be approached with regard to the modification of the relationships, the interpersonal communication, the forms of symbiosis, the demographic state, the socio-economic and workplace conditions. This study endeavours to point out the notion that the diverse—social, economic, political and counseling—support of the family and the parents is imperative, not only for them to live up to their difficult and monumental role, but also to improve the state of their personal life so that they can bring to the world and mould happy children. Moreover, it aspires to provoke further examination and research conduct.
