Summary/Abstract: In the psychoanalytic paradigm, the family is seen as a social institution that aims to welcome the child into the world and create psychic continuity between generations. The concept of family complex, introduced by Jacques Lacan, describes the way in which the family functions as a symbolic instance, responsible for welcoming and entering the child into the symbolic order.
