'family of procreation'


Explanation:
according to Calvin A. Colarusso M.D. in his Separation-Individuation Processes in Middle Adulthood: The Fourth Individuation, Chapter 4, page 79, 'Interdependence and Loss' -- Sorry I can't provide the book's title, but I can give you the following webpage:
http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/search?sortspec=relevanc...
where you can find the term used in three different articles.
Hope it helps.

I think the title of the book by Colarusso (1997) is:
The Seasons of Life: Separation-Individuation Perspectives, ed. S. Akhtar & S. Kramer. Northvale, NJ: Aronson, pp 73-94.
