    :"Functional upbringing" can mean, a good upbringing, good parents, little disruption in their lives versus a "dysfunctional upbringing" with parents who are (for example) alcoholics, father beats kids, parents always fighting...etc..etc...

    I'm guessing the term disfunctional came first (as in not 'normal') and now we've provided the opposite, functional. Functional, normal, hmmm hard to define these days.
