Toward a New Citizenship of the Family, 1993

What is the role of today’s family in regard to its mediation between the individual and society? The Third Report on the Family in Italy argues that the family allows the individual to engage in a relationship with society through a filter (cultural, psychological, relational, etc.) that helps the individual utilize the various options offered by society.
This volume analyzes the dynamic of mediation in the various spheres of society (psychological, social, educational, economic, and legal) with particular attention paid to mass media and to the capacity of the family to take care of its weakest members (e.g. those with disabilities).
In brief, the Report underlines that a strong request has been emerging demanding social policies which recognize the family as a specific "social subject" as well as a new citizenship of the family.
