In accordance with changes in social conditions, family life experiences its own development and as a result of it, the traditional family changed into the modern family and then to the postmodern family. The article presents descriptions of the current postmodern family, which form a basis for the analysis of the work division inside the family. The aim of the paper is to present the current state of patrimonial division of work inside the family and to detect the participation of men and women in everyday duties and work in the household and participation in child care, based on the empirical findings (with emphasis on Slovak and Czech research). The next aim is to analyse opinions and expectations of people in the area of parental roles and get an answer to the question, whether equal relationships exist in current families or there is a continuation of specific gender divisions of work in the household.

The article presents selected findings of research of drug careers focused on the social consequences, which is currently being completed in the author’s dissertation. The aim of the thesis research was to transcribe changes in the social environment of individual drug careers of those individuals whose process of addiction begins in adolescence and does not come from a socially marginalized environment. The particular aim was to extract relevant conclusions for the helping professions. The sample consists of eighteen informants, the sample design goal was to include cases of a comparable nature. The research uses a case study design and analytical procedures and the main and key data collection method is an in-depth interviews with a script. Interviews had elements of a narrative interview and retrospectively identified drug career. Selected findings focus on the climate associated with the use of non-alcohol drugs in a school class team, recognising the identification with the anti-hero of the addicted individual as a surprising motive for drug use, and analysing the moment of balance as an opportunity for intervention of helping professions. The author tries to put the findings into a broader sociocultural context and reflects on the contemporary context of identity formation in adolescence and the question of normality/deviance in relation to illicit drug use.
