JARDIM, Luís Eduardo Franção. World as the basis of phenomenological psychotherapy group. []. , 12, 3, pp.938-951. ISSN 1808-4281.

In this paper we intend to relate the Martin Heidegger's phenomenology world to the characteristics of group therapy, as basis for this therapeutic modality. World encompasses the totality of being with others, being-alongside and being yourself. There is no Dasein without world, nor world without Dasein. Inserted into a network of shared meanings, we are our own world in which we relate and know. We are constituted from relationships with others and only in the relations we access our ways of being. In a group, it is possible to get in touch with our own reference of world, which determines our existence and our understanding of ourselves. In this modality of therapy of care, a therapeutic shared world is established from an availability to listen to yourself and others.
