Abstract

This article presents an approximation to the modern conception of Family, taking into consideration the convergence of the classical sciences with the current approaches dealing with the family of the third millennium. Insights considered come from anthropology, psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, general systems theory, symbolic interactionism, social constructionism, cybernetics, and complex thought, among others. An emphasis is made on the links with law as a legal and juridical framework and fulfillment of regulations. Achange of paradigm is expressed with a new understanding of the family and new ways of approaching it in an integral and holistic way.
