The Healthy Child in an Unhealthy Family Setting.

      Аннотация: This phenomenological narrative research study aims to understand the pathway of the individuals who have managed to adapt successfully into adulthood in spite of their dysfunctional family setting, and understand how they became the persons they are today by shedding a light on how they have re-constructed themselves from their past experiences, present situations, and their hopes and longings for the future. A cross-sectional research design was conducted in Iceland, and the participants were found with the use of a purposive sampling method. This allowed the researcher to recruit participants whose experiences were relevant to the research aims. Furthermore, the participants were required to be 30 years of age or older as they were in better position to reflect on how their past, present and imagined futures have shaped their narrative identities.
