Modern theories of family conflicts have received a boost for development in contemporary society. When studying conflicts of married couples according to the psychoanalytical approach, much attention is paid to thorough research into the personalities of both spouses, as well as to specifics of building relationships. The personal identity of each of the partners is one of the most significant personal characteristics that determine the level of relationships in a couple and serves as an indicator of the personal development of an individual. This problem is being researched by academicians of the Department of Psychological Counseling within the framework of pilot scientific projects. Based on a psychoanalytic model of partners’ personal identity, empirical research into the impact of the personal identity of spouses on the parameters of their conflict was carried out in 2016-2019. The participants of the research were married people who declared a conflict with their spouse and stated their willingness to take part in the study. The results are based on the plan of correlation study that involved the use of quantitative methods of processing data received from the couples.
