Duda, Małgorzata2022-12-122022-12-122006Polonia Sacra, 2006, R. 10 (28), Nr 18 (62), s. 5-10.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/2173Recent years have brought a revived interest in the family and its problems. Deep transformations, which leave a mark on social relations and are by no means smooth, can be observed. Understanding the processes and the conditio of the family in Poland requires thorough research in various academic fields: psychology, sociology, ethnology, demography, economics and pedagogics. These are tasks for the “Family Studies”, which just opened in the academic year 2005/2006 at the Pontifical Academy of Theology. Graduates will be prepared to work not only in broadly understood social assistance (social work) services, but also in palliative care centres, family counselling, social welfare institutions, therapy workshops or as mediators.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/rodzinamałżeństwonauki o rodziniekryzysspołeczeństwosocjologiaczłowiekfamilymarriagefamily studiescrisissocietysociologyhumansakramentysacramentsArticle
