AB  - The article deals with the peculiarities and contradictions of the social role of a mother of a child with developmental abnormalities. It is defined that modern culture lacks social norms of behavior of mothers of special children that complicates communicative processes and socialization of this category of women. The components of psychotrauma of the mother and the contradictions of the situation of abnormal development of the child were singled out. The influence of the contradictions of the social role of the mother as the factor of maternal needs-motivational sphere deficiency and the style of maternal attitude in the case of the child development abnormality was analyzed. 120 mothers raising children with developmental disabilities were surveyed. The style of maternal attitude was diagnosed using the OMO author's questionnaire (O. A. Ziborova and T. V. Degtyarenko). The level of certainty and peculiarities of contradictions in mothers' interactions were assessed according to A. Mehrabian's methodology. It was revealed that mothers who were able to accept the contradiction of the situation of the child's developmental disorders as a challenge through the experience realized the need to revise values and meanings. The emotional regulation of behavior of such mothers is aimed at mastering the habits of modeling the optimal style of maternal attitude, which determines new ways of interaction with the environment. Contradictions in social interaction are most defined in mothers who showed inadequate maternal attitude styles.
