The relevance of the topic of the article. The article discusses the characteristic features of the style of parental attitude “Severity of sanctions” (Eidemiller E.G., Justickis V.V.). It is revealed that the style of parental attitude to the child depends on the quality of reflection. Reflexive defenses, in turn, manifest themselves in behavioral forms of reaction and are fixed as an experience in the styles of parental attitude. The authors also compiled a reflexive portrait of the mother with this style of parental attitude, according to which the reflexive strategies and tactics of the mother’s behavior when communicating with the child are clearly visible. A mental map and an algorithm for consulting work with the mother are also presented.

The aim of the study. The results of an empirical study of the relationship of the style of parental attitude “Severity of sanctions” with the peculiarities of the mother’s reflection are presented. On the example of this style of parental attitude to the child, the reasons preventing the formation of the psychological well-being of the child are shown.

Description of the research progress. An empirical study was conducted with mothers raising preschoolers. The study involved 236 dyads of mothers with children. Respondents have higher education (67%), are married (51%), work (70%) and have more than one child (45%).

Conclusion. The more pronounced the indicators of the protective (pathogenic) reflection of the mother, the more the unconstructive style of parental attitude towards the child is presented, the less competent she is in educational activities.

This article substantiates the relevance of the introduction into psychological science and practice of the phenomenon of «reflexive portrait of personality». Theoretically and empirically the concept of «reflexive portrait of personality» (on the example of mothers raising children of preschool age) is justified. The respondents in the empirical study were women aged 20 to 35 years. Based on the results of the empirical study, the reflexive profiles of respondents are presented, allowing them to quantitatively see the severity of certain indicators of protective reflection. Qualitative (descriptive) characteristics of a profile are reflected in reflexive portraits of respondents. The diagnostic tools were the projective test «Cognitive-emotive test» (Orlov Yu.M., Morozyuk S.N.), the activity reflection test (Shadrikov V.D., Kurginyan S.S., Kuznetsova M.D.), the questionnaire «Differential type of reflection» (Leontiev D.A., Lapteva E.M., Osin E.N.), the test-questionnaire of parental attitude (Varga A.Ya., Stolin V.V.) and the questionnaire for parents «Analysis of family relationships» (Еidemiller E.G., Justitskis V.V.). Based on the data of an empirical study reflexive portraits of mothers with the style of parental attitude «Acceptance» are presented (A.Ya. Varga, V.V. Stolin). The description shows the reflexive strategies and tactics of the mother’s behavior in the process of communicating with the child. The authors of the article suggest a Protocol for a sanogenic session and an algorithm for consulting with mothers.
