Rola przestrzeni i miejsca w procesie resocjalizacji młodzieży niedostosowanej społecznie

The principal task of the social rehabilitation process, which is based on creative social rehabilitation, is to obtain relatively permanent consequences in the personality of the juvenile, his social functioning, creating the parameters of his identity, and the resulting life and social roles. A developing identity of juveniles is a simple way of thinking about oneself, one’s life priorities. It means that young people behave like they think. The process of social rehabilitation takes place in a specific environment of the institution where one can find the objects and the facts, as well as a lot of interaction between them. There is no doubt that among the factors which have a real impact on social rehabilitation the greatest importance is given to interpersonal relations. The space and the place are essential issues in this process. The space of contacts of two personalities – the youth and the teacher – is a plane on which the traces of changes of identity parameters of both interaction partners are imprinted. The place is created for people and by people; it activates the potential of youth.
