Group psychotherapy

Abstract

The author of the essay refers to the systemic fundamentals involved in group psychotherapy. Understand the group as a space for containment and protection and a system in which everything is played: the individual, the social and the family. The therapeutic group is a system in which the requirements of a multiplicity of human systems with their own experiences, values, beliefs and particular way of meaning the world come together. It is important to read the digital and analog communication. Group psychotherapy allows several narratives about individual problems, so that a reconstruction of realities can be done. The therapeutic group space will give the opening to see, think and feel a different social construction from that known in the family space, expanding its own and creating a new one. Group psychotherapy defines a process that shifts the "problematic" (individual) discourse towards group. Finally, it is proposed that the group interaction will allow others to realize that they have “deformities” as well as oneself, which allows the therapist to identify their own deformations.
