Introduction. The problem of studying the clinical and psychological characteristics of persons brought up in alcoholic families occupies an important place among modern research.
Method. The search for Russian-language and English-language articles in electronic scientific libraries (Elibrary.ru, PubMed) by keywords: alcoholism, addiction, alcoholic families, dysfunctional families, codependency.
Results. Found scientific works prove that such a factor as a dysfunctional family has a direct impact on the occurrence of mental illness (in particular, addictive pathologies) in children brought up in such families.
Conclusion. The data of numerous studies prove that alcoholism in the family is a serious risk factor for the development of not only congenital pathologies, but also the cause of the development of various mental disorders. Many authors have identified a pattern according to which the ACA syndrome ("Adult children of alcoholics") has a direct impact on the formation of addictive predisposition.
