Psychology of the family

The family as the continuity of life

In the New Psychology DREVO, the family is viewed as an unbroken chain of generations through which life, culture, language, traditions, experience, and heritage are passed on to a person.

Every person is both the heir of the past and the creator of the future.

He gains the experience of previous generations and passes it on to the next, supplementing it with his own knowledge, actions and discoveries.

The genus as a system

The genus is a living system that exists in time.

Each generation influences the next through:

• upbringing;
• family traditions;→
• cultural values;
• language;
• worldview;
• skills;
• material and cultural heritage;
• and also through biological heredity.

Modern science confirms the influence of genetics, family environment, and certain epigenetic mechanisms on human development. Broader claims about the transmission of specific psychological experiences or destinies require caution and further research.

Family legacy

Each family passes on not only material resources.

He conveys:

• knowledge;→
• crafts;
• life experience;
• ways to solve problems;
• moral guidelines;
• family stories;
• attitude to work;
• attitude towards people;
• attitude towards nature.

Heritage becomes the foundation on which the development of new generations is built.

Responsibility to the family

A person is not obliged to repeat the life of his ancestors.

However, he can understand their experience, preserve the best and change what hinders development.

Respect for one's family does not mean blind adherence to traditions.

It means a conscious attitude towards one’s origins and responsibility for what will be passed on.

Development of the genus

Each generation gets the opportunity to make the family stronger.

This happens through:

• education;
• honest work;
• health care;
• raising children;
• preservation of culture;
• development of sciences;
• creative activity;→
• mutual support.

The development of one person becomes a contribution to the development of the entire family.

Gender and personality

The individual retains freedom of choice.

Origin influences a person, but does not completely determine his destiny.

Everyone is capable of:

• build on the strengths of your heritage;
• rethink limiting family attitudes;
• create new traditions;
• to pass on more mature experience to future generations.

Thus, a person becomes not only a continuer of the family, but also its transformer.

Clan and Society

The society consists of many families and clans.

The more families maintain a culture of cooperation, respect, responsibility and education, the more resilient the society becomes.

Therefore, strengthening the family and clan is simultaneously a contribution to the development of the entire country and humanity.

The main principle

Family is not only a memory of the past.

Family is responsibility for the future.

True respect for one's ancestors is not expressed in the idealization of the past, but in the desire to make the life of the next generation healthier, freer, wiser, and more creative.

Definition

A family is an unbroken community of generations, united by origin, culture, memory and heritage, through which life, experience and values ​​are transmitted.

In New Psychology DREVO, family psychology explores how heredity, family culture, upbringing, and intergenerational experience influence personality development, as well as how people can consciously preserve the best of their heritage and create a new legacy for future generations.

Community Psychology

Community as a space for development

In the New Psychology of DREVO, a community is viewed as a voluntary association of people connected by common values, goals, and mutual responsibility.

If the family is the first environment for human development, and the clan connects generations, then the community becomes a space where a person learns to cooperate with people who are not related to him by family ties.

It is in community that the individual begins to transform his or her abilities into a common contribution.

Why does a person need a community?

• A person cannot fully realize his potential alone.
• Ideas are born in dialogue.
• Knowledge develops through exchange.
• Culture is created through collaborative creativity.
• Technologies emerge through collaboration.

Community allows many people to combine their abilities to achieve goals that are impossible for one person to achieve.

The foundation of a healthy community

A healthy community is built on common principles.

Common values

People are united not by origin or material gain, but by an understanding of why the community exists.

Shared values ​​create trust and a sense of belonging.

Voluntariness

A true community cannot be built on coercion.

A person becomes a full participant only when he shares the goals and accepts responsibility voluntarily.

Mutual respect

Every person has dignity regardless of age, profession, education, financial status or origin.

Respect creates a safe environment for personal development.

Cooperation

The main strength of a community lies in the combination of the diverse abilities of its members.

Differences become a source of complementarity rather than a cause of division.

Responsibility

Each participant is responsible not only for their own well-being, but also for the development of the entire community.

The more a person contributes to a common cause, the stronger the community becomes.

Knowledge sharing

One of the main functions of the community is the transfer of knowledge.

The experience of older generations helps young people avoid many mistakes.

New ideas from the younger generation help the community develop.

This is how a continuous exchange of experience between generations arises.

Conflict resolution

Conflicts are a natural part of life in any community.

They arise from differences in interests, views and needs.

A mature community views conflict not as a threat, but as an opportunity to find a more just solution.

The basis for conflict resolution is:

• open dialogue;
• respect;→
• search for mutually acceptable solutions;
• responsibility of all participants.

Community as an ecosystem

• In New Psychology DREVO, the community is like a forest.
• Each person is like a separate tree.
• Each person has their own characteristics, age and abilities.

However, it is the interaction between all participants that creates a sustainable ecosystem.

A strong community does not suppress individuality.

It creates an environment in which everyone can grow, and the success of one contributes to the development of all others.

Community and Society

Communities are the foundation of a healthy society.

It is through local associations, trade unions, creative teams, scientific groups, volunteer organizations, cultural initiatives, and cooperatives that people learn collaborative management, mutual support, and creativity.

The development of society begins with the development of small communities.

The main principle

The community exists not only to protect the interests of its members.

Its highest goal is to create conditions in which each person can reveal their abilities, and joint work benefits the whole society.

The stronger individuals become, the stronger the community becomes.

The stronger the community becomes, the more opportunities open up for the development of each person.

Definition

A community is a voluntary association of people based on shared values, trust, cooperation and mutual responsibility, the purpose of which is the joint development of the individual, society and the surrounding world.

In DREVO's New Psychology, community is viewed as a natural creative environment where personal development becomes a common good, and shared good creates new opportunities for the development of each individual.

Psychology of Culture

Culture as the memory of humanity

In the New Psychology of DREVO, culture is viewed as the collective memory of humanity and one of the main factors in personal development.

Through culture, each generation receives knowledge, language, values, traditions, art, moral guidelines, and ways of interacting with the world.

Culture allows a person to start life not from scratch, but based on the experience of thousands of generations.

What is culture?

Culture is all the best that a person creates and transmits.

These include:

• language;
• literature;
• music;
• art;
• architecture;
• science;
• education;
• crafts;
• family traditions;→
• moral standards;
• customs;
• public institutions.

Culture is not only a legacy of the past, but also a process of continuous creativity.

Culture shapes personality

From the first days of life, a person develops within a certain cultural environment.

• Language shapes thinking.
• Family traditions form habits.
• Art develops the emotional sphere.
• History helps us understand the present.
• Education transmits knowledge.

Thus, culture becomes an environment in which the human psyche, consciousness and worldview develop.

Culture and Values

Every culture preserves ideas about good and evil, beauty and justice, dignity and responsibility.

These ideas may differ between societies, but it is through culture that people learn to understand the value of human life, respect other people, and recognize their responsibility to society.

DREVO's new psychology views culture as a space of constant dialogue, where traditions are preserved, reinterpreted, and developed.

Culture as a source of psychological health

Culture helps a person:

• to feel a sense of belonging;
• understand your origins;
• find life guidelines;
• express feelings through creativity;
• maintain connections between generations;
• overcome life's difficulties through collective experience.

A person who knows his own culture and is open to the culture of other peoples can more easily understand both himself and the world around him.

Cultural diversity

Cultural diversity is the wealth of humanity.

Every nation makes its contribution to the development of world civilization.

The exchange of knowledge, art, scientific discoveries and experiences expands the possibilities of all people.

Therefore, respect for cultural diversity promotes cooperation and mutual understanding.

Development of culture

Culture exists only when it develops.

Each generation receives the legacy of the past, but at the same time creates new works of art, scientific discoveries, technologies, social institutions and traditions.

Thus, a person becomes not only a keeper of culture, but also its creator.

Culture and Society

The quality of culture influences the quality of society.

A culture based on respect, cooperation, knowledge and creativity promotes personal development and strengthens social ties.

A culture that encourages violence, lies, or contempt for human dignity can weaken trust and hinder social development.

Therefore, concern for culture is at the same time concern for the psychological health of society.

The main principle

Culture should not become a museum of the past.

It should be a living space for human development.

By preserving the best heritage of the past and creating something new, a person becomes a link between generations.

Definition

Culture is the collective memory and creative heritage of humanity through which knowledge, values, language, art, traditions, and ways of interacting with the world are transmitted.

In DREVO's New Psychology, cultural psychology studies how the cultural environment influences the development of the individual, society, and civilization, as well as how individuals, through creativity, education, and constructive activity, become creators of culture.

Culture doesn't begin with monuments and museums. It begins with people's everyday actions, their attitudes toward others, toward knowledge, toward work, and toward life. It is these daily actions that gradually shape the culture of a family, a community, a nation, and all of humanity.
