BRACCO, Silvia Maia. Feelings workshop: building up a therapeutic space. J. psicanal. [online]. 2015, vol.48, n.88, pp. 161-172. ISSN 0103-5835.

This paper aims to describe the story of "Feelings Workshop" - a group that provides a weekly psychological care to children and teenagers in the Acaia Studio, which is the core of the institute with the same name. Among other fronts, the group work with the community that lives in the westside of the city of São Paulo, more precisely, in the area around ceagesp (a public company and the central distributor of food products in the State of São Paulo). The workshop helps children, young people, their families and all the community in the individual and collective organization, in order to build healthier relationships. In this paper, we have followed the progressive development of a group therapy space. Our initial hypothesis is that frame creates conditions for symbolization to occur. We intend to describe and discuss the process of establishing, transforming and expanding frames; frames that creates matrices of symbolization in order to build up a basic repertoire that relates to the cultural field and social life. The theoretical reference is basically focused on Winnicott's, Herrmann's, and Roussillon's contributions.

Keywords : children; extensive clinic; frame; symbolization.
