DE CARVALHO BARRETO, André. SYSTEMIC PARADIGM WITHIN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY: URIE BRONFENBRENNER'S BIOECOLOGICAL THEORY. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp. 275-293. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2016V22N2P275.

The following essay aims at the presentation and discussion of concepts from Urie Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory, used as a systemic approach applied to the study of human and family development. The most important concepts of his Theory and its process-person- context-time model are discussed by pointing to their relevance in fixing a solid systemic theory that advances the given areas of knowledge, although they intend to deal with the area of human development and in particular with family development. It is claimed that Bronfenbrenner's findings have been useful - and are still useful - for grounding several investigation and theoretical models, which already allowed understanding of psychological processes beyond Psychology of Development and which furthermore help to relate theory to its application in a better way

Keywords : Bioecological theory; Family development; Systemic paradigm; Developmental science; Ecology of human development.
