WORK - PERSONAL LIFE. BETWEEN HARMONY AND DISINTEGRATION is a multidisciplinary monograph concerning the problematic of the relations between the two main areas of an adult person's functioning, i.e. professional work and personal life. The issue of a person harmonising activities within the various social roles they play that was discussed in the following publication, has been the object of an intense and constantly increasing interest of many theorists, researchers - and foremost - of practitioners. The question of mutual interactions between professional and family roles was discussed in the book according to the most recent trends, namely in terms of conflict and facilitating these roles. In addition, the two-way influence between work and personal life was taken into consideration - that is, the influence of work over a person's functioning within their extraprofessional sphere, as well as the influence of personal life over one's functioning as regards one's professional roles. Although many kinds of scientific research have been conducted in the field up to this day and in addition, many actions have been undertaken in order to facilitate successful combining of one's work and personal life, there still exist some unresolved issues, there arise new questions and doubts that need answers. This publication fits this trend of the abovementioned considerations, since it tries to organise the knowledge and experience in the field as well as contains some proposals of perceiving several significant issues in a new way.
