Abstract
In this article we analyze important and current questions and challenges caused by changes occurring in the field of family, filiation, and parenthood, and the way contemporaneous authors place themselves regarding them. For this purpose, several fields of knowledge were analyzed such as psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. First, the ideas of authors who negatively interpret the emergence of new family arrangements shall be introduced and criticized, with some of them being against the demands made by homosexuals of union and access to filiation. Then, proposals of authors who value new scenarios and problematize points and impasses that emerge in society, as well as in the clinic, will be discussed, and clinical propositions for welcoming patients and their families are proposed.
