• The purpose of this chapter is to argue that the past sociological notion of the intact family-qua-family composed of two parents of the opposite gender and two children, is not longer tenable. This argument, of course, about the decline of the family, as conceived in the past, does not mean that the profession of Family Psychology should decline as well. It means that different conceptions about the family unit have evolved in the last half a century. Those conceptions will remain of interest to such a professional organization.
