David Krueger’s theory on the development of body self and Murray Bowen’s theory on family systems were the theoretical background of the research problem. The participants were 144 women in the third trimester of first pregnancy. The subjects were administered a documentation sheet, the Body Esteem Scale, Dresden Body Image Inventory, Questionnaire of Relationship, and a ‘Naked Person’ Drawing Test. The application of the statistical method of data clustering enabled to distinguish three groups of pregnant women, who differed in terms of their body image. These groups obtained various results concerning the differentiation of the self and the perceived relationship with the parents, the partner and the unborn child VL - 2017 IS - Volume 22, Issue 1 PY - 2017 SN - 1895-6297 C1 - 2084-3879 SP - 59 EP - 75 DO - 10.4467/20843879PR.17.004.6418 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/psychologia-rozwojowa/article/zwiazek-miedzy-obrazem-ciala-u-kobiet-w-pierwszej-ciazy-a-reprezentacja-relacji-z-rodzicem-partnerem-i-dzieckiem KW - pregnancy KW - body image KW - differentiation of the self KW - perceived relationship with the parents KW - perceived relationship with the partner KW - mental representation of the child
