MORATTO VASQUEZ, Nadia Semenova; ZAPATA POSADA, Johanna Jazmín  y  MESSAGER, Tatiana. Conceptualization of family life cycle: a view of the production during the period between 2002 and 2015. CES Psicol [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.2, pp.103-121. ISSN 2011-3080.

This study is the result of a process of theoretical descriptive documentary research, in which different researches published during the years 2002-2015 in relation to the subject family life cycle (FLC) were tracked and analyzed. 45 articles and theoretical texts were analyzed. From the process of coding and analysis three contents have been derived: Definition of FLC, FLC stages and new conceptual challenges on this. The family life cycle is presented from two perspectives, as theorizing that can discern the development of the family throughout its existence, through stages, and another that involves questioning the contemporary validity of this theory in society, taken into account social, cultural, and economic changes, among others.

Palabras clave : Family; Family Life Cycle; Family Relations.
