With a broad and comprehensive approach, its objective was to identify the main thematic axes and underexplored areas to guide future research. Methodologically, the PRISMA 2020 statement was used, 52 documents were analyzed between research results and theoretical reflection that met the inclusion criteria. The results highlight family processes and relationships as the central axis of the analysis, showing that the literature has tended to focus on their challenges, changes, and relational dynamics. We conclude the need to make visible their strengths and opportunities from an appreciative perspective, which allows a more comprehensive analysis of their dynamics and recognizes the generativity that these families build.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1177/10443894251333554https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/10443894251333554metadata only access31639+572stepfamiliesfamily processes and relationshipsgenerativityCiencias Sociales51 Antropología63 Sociología
