Abstract
Within the framework of the relational sociology, a body of studies and research have developed with the aim to show that as regard to both social policies and human services, the most promising models were those family-focused. Familiness has become a distinctiveness of the relational approach to the study of welfare system and human services: it is a quality that denotes an added value whenever it is attributed to. After an examination of literature on family-based approaches and welfare regimes models, the relational sociological approach is presented as a theoretical framework for evidence-based family-centered practices. With that being said, an explorative model for analyzing familiness of services and practices is illustrated.
