The term "family-of-origin" refers specifically to the family, or families, in which a person was raised. It distinguishes this family from other types of family structures that an individual may be a part of later in life, such as a nuclear or blended family. The term "natural family" is often used to refer to biological or genetically-related family members, but does not necessarily encompass the family-of-origin.
