Abstract

The present research contributes for the reflection on the meaning "family" accumulated by Social Work, in its practical theoretician. For it, the specific objective is analyze the position that this occupies in bibliographical production, at the moment of Social Work appear as profession in Brazil, in 1930s, as from the modifications that affect the professional institutionalization process until current days. This initial period is studied consider the original material produced by firsts social workers that got BA degree by the School of Social Work of Sao Paulo, created in 1936. Its pioneering character in the birth and evolution of the Social Work is recognized by historical sources easiest access in Sao Paulo, make possible this research. They are included in the material range: end academic papers among others. The methodological procedure is based on the historical analysis based on these documents, being established connections between the collected data. The magazine Serviço Social & Sociedade is taken as source of national reference, published since 1979 and used by the professionals of expression of all the country, as part of the construction of our knowledge body. Some sources that establish a parallel between the constructed reality in Sao Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro at the moment of the creation of the first institutions of education are used, basing, mainly, our plan of analysis of the general content of the material from its identification and proximity in relation to "social projects" that had conformed the development of the profession. In this last aspect, we follow the orientation of the bibliographical production that it looked to constitute a common patrimony of reflection on the profession. We observe on the family subject adopted by the profession, the theoretical production was not significant in some periods, not meaning the disappearance of the practical one with such population. It is fact, that in the period of 1946 the 1964, has a gap in the theoretical production because military dictatorship is the intellectual priority for the social movements that look for a social democratic hegemonic project, leaving the family analyses in other plan. It can be said that the subject never was dealt with the way as it would have, mainly if to consider the permanence and the important place of the work with families in the practical professional since its origin until the present time
