CAMARGO, Paula Oliveira de and LITHOLDO, Mariana Cunha. Therapeutic workshop as a resilience process concerning a scenario of palliative and extensive care. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.3, pp.817-835. ISSN 1677-1168. https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n3p817-835.
Palliative Care is an approach with a distinct and integrative viewpoint to oncological and chronic-degenerative diseases. Based on it, extensive care is a treatment proposition which aggregates the perspective of a transitional process. The aim of this article is to present, within this perspective, the process of implementation of therapeutic workshops in a private hospital network. Description and analysis of activities performed, focusing on the stages of the project from its setup until the present moment, will be carried out. The identified benefits promote resilience and include factors such as social support, self-knowledge, recovery of a sense of meaning, coping, bioethical issues and the grieving process. Overall, it may be said that therapeutic workshops, as a modality of group care, are, in an integrative and multidisciplinary manner, a new field of work, which requires more research aiming to contribute to the expansion of its results.
