THE SOCIAL REHABILITATION OF HOMELESS WOMEN WITH CHILDREN
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2014, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
This article presents the most important aspects on homelessness amongst women and their children in Poland as based on the results of analyses of the relevant subject literature and empirical research works. Homelessness can be regarded as the ultimate expression of social exclusion. In other words, this phenomenon belongs to the kind of social problems that violate social law and order, and which also result in a threat to the safety and normal functioning of society. Attention should also be paid to the fact that homelessness is subjective in nature, because it constitutes a social problem that involves a number of deficits, which are analyzed, first and foremost, in two broadly-viewed contexts: the psychological and the sociological. However, in the literature on the subject it is also possible to find discussions on the legal and health-related dimensions of homelessness. What is also emphasized very forcefully is the need for outreach and activating activities directed to persons experiencing homelessness. Therefore, the phenomenon of homelessness is to be perceived as multi-dimensional, heterogeneous and non-uniform. An awareness of the problems described above can and should result in activities that will contribute to implementing programs for the social rehabilitation of homeless persons.
