For time immemorial, family groups in one form or another have been the basic building block of social structures. This fact has not changed over the centuries, but the definition of a family certainly has. These days in most of western Europe, standard sociology theory maintains that there are five types of families<\/strong>, being nuclear, extended, single parent, reconstituted and childless families.
