Contemporary psychology in the description of the self is beginning to take into consideration – apart from the self described as a static, unchanging structure – the point of view of phenomenology, the perspective of the subjects through self-description, their narration in the context of functioning in social relations and inner experience. Revealing of self in self-description is determined to a large extent by the surrounding reality. It can be especially significant in young people in the period of adolescence. Their self-esteem is a personality trait for which social relations are responsible to a great extent. Adolescents build their self-esteem on the basis of personal experiences and emotional relationships with their families or friends (the community surrounding them). The appropriate functioning of young people can be ensured by high self-esteem formed by satisfying psychological needs such as acceptance, security, autonomy, belonging as well as the appropriate level of emotional intelligence. Self-esteem formed on negative family and social role models can, on the other hand, lead to the formation of negative identity, and thereby inappropriate peer relationships. The presented research refers to girls who are staying at the Youth Detention Centre and Young Offenders’ Institution in Warsaw Falenica according to the ruling of Family Division and Juvenile Court. The presented research is a pilot study. It charts a new scope of research. It can also be used in the work of tutors, social therapists and social workers taking care of juveniles both during and after their stay at the Young Offenders’ Institution.

Emotional blackmail is a form of manipulation. It consists in influencing another person’s emotions and feelings, the person usually being a partner in a close relationship. This kind of blackmail is based on a threat of the blackmailer’s suffering if the partner does not behave in the way the blackmailer wishes. The basis of the manipulation is constituted by a good knowledge of the partner, his/her needs, aspirations, weaknesses and desires. The essence of the emotional blackmail syndrome is the following sequence of behaviors: the blackmailer’s demand, the victim’s resistance, the blackmailer’s pressure, the blackmailer’s threats, the victim’s compliance, and a repetition of the whole cycle. The blackmailer, in order to blur the partner’s clarity of judgment, intensifies his/her sense of obligation, guilt and fear. Many victims of emotional blackmail remain unnoticed and they suffer in secret. This may be especially difficult for children at the threshold or the start of adolescence. Here the peers’ acceptance is immensely significant and adolescents often can give a lot to gain it. In this context it is important to study the peer relationships that are burdened with emotional blackmail. The undertaken studies have a pilot character. Their aim was to explore the phenomenon of emotional blackmail in peer relationships, to make a diagnosis of its range, and of its components.
