CAMASMIE, Ana Tereza    SA, Roberto Novaes de. Phenomenological-existential reflections for psychological clinic in group. Estud. pesqui. psicol. []. 2012, 12, 3, pp.952-972. ISSN 1808-4281.

The group modality in the psychologic clinic seems to inhabit an instable place in the clinical practice, since its validation and legitimacy are questioned mainly in comparison with the individual modality. Due to being overwhelmed by the contemporary perspective of granting privilege to methods that affirm everything that concerns the individual and the self-sufficiency, this clinical practice may restrain itself to spaces of great demands of psychological treatment, corresponding to the productivity logic and compromising its clinical purpose. Aiming at affirming this clinical modality in the phenomenological-existential approach, this article means to bring the hermeneutic phenomenology of Martin Heidegger closer to the clinical experience in order to reflect upon two important aspects of the psychotherapeutic routine: the clinical dialogue and the psychotherapeutic link, differentiating it from the approaches that are based in essentialist theories about groups.
