Abstract

SILVEIRA, Fernando. Working with groups and the borders of brazilian's analytic movement: 1967-1976. J. psicanal. [online]. 2015, vol.48, n.88, pp.257-270. ISSN 0103-5835.

From 1951 to 1969, pioneers of the first Psychoanalytic Societies in Brazil worked with groups and attempted to validate their works as psychoanalytic ones. In that period of time, they also founded societies for the purpose of working with groups; there were several attempts to validate their work in the IPA Societies. This part of history may be forgotten: since the 1970's, the search for the "true psychoanalysis" has been considered a starting point for the gap between the group psychoanalytic therapy and the psychoanalytic movement, especially the one connected to the IPA. From that moment, the group has gradually been a less and less important matter to the Psychoanalytic Societies related to IPA. Almost nothing has changed (at least, by the time this work was published). In this paper, the author intends to recover this history and to discuss the issue of the group inside the Brazilian psychoanalytic movement - a subject that brings up the discussion about boundaries in psychoanalysis.

Keywords : group; group psychotherapy; Brazilian psychoanalytic movement.
