M谷todo: Se parte de la concepci車n cl芍sica de familia, donde aparece como central la noci車n de estructura, representada por los conceptos de tipolog赤a y funcionamiento familiar. Se propone ampliar la idea de familia a la luz de los cambios que ha experimentado y de los planteamientos provenientes de la posmodernidad. Se postulan tres hip車tesis que gu赤an el abordaje al problema estudiado. Conclusiones: Se critica el sustrato estructural en la concepci車n de familia y se propone que esta sea pensada como configuraci車n. Al mismo tiempo, se asimila la configuraci車n familiar con el concepto de resiliencia familiar y se postula que en esto radican las posibilidades de promoci車n de la salud mental no s車lo para la familia, sino para los sujetos que la componen. Objectives: To study the promotion of mental health at the family core. Methods: The starting point is the classical conception of family, in which the notion of structure plays a central role and it is represented by the concepts of typology and family functioning. We suggest that the concept of family should be extended in the light of the changes it has undergone and of several post-modern approaches. Five hypotheses were postulated to guide the proposed approach. Conclusions: The structural substrate in the conception of family is criticized. Instead, we propose that the family should be thought of as a configuration, which is in turn assimilated to family resilience. We postulate that it is this assimilation which offers the possibilities for mental health promotion for both the family and each one of its members. %K familia %K resiliencia familiar %K salud mental %K Family %K resilience %K mental health %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-74502008000300005
