Abstract
In this study, the transformation of the traditional family in the historical process, the change in production-consumption models and the loss of the family's role-function in the historical process are discussed and possible solutions for supporting the family institution from a social work perspective are identified. It is seen that the functions of the family in areas such as health, security and education, which have continued throughout history, have weakened considerably today. This situation can be attributed to the fact that marriages, which are largely established with body-oriented, egocentric human elements, have become sustainable to the extent of mutual physical/psychological satisfaction of the couples. Thus, the formation of single-parent family forms due to increasing divorces, the increase in children growing up without the protection of mother and/or father, and the psychosocial and financial crises of divorced individuals have become a threat to the sustainable healthy social structure. In relation to these results, the perspective of social work is to support and strengthen the family institution and to prevent social problems that may arise from broken families. In the research, the transformation of the family in the historical process was examined with the documentation technique, one of the qualitative research methods, and the social problems caused by this transformation were described based on the results of the researches conducted on this subject. In the solution of the problems identified, solution suggestions were developed from the perspective of social work.
