The Parent Child Relationship on New Family Scenario

Abstract

In the last two decades, the modern family has been going through signiï¬cant changes in several aspects of its configu-ration and structure, requiring a complex and multidisciplinary perspective essential to its understanding. The children subsystem is not immune to these changes, and the parent-child relationship must be reformulated in the light of these wider transformations. Today the modern family, therefore, can appear to be deeply different from the traditional one in terms of structure and roles.

This paper is a reflection on some of the alternatives to the traditional family forms in order to highlight critical and re-silience factors.
