Abstract

NAVA, Ana Sofia. Empathy and group analysis: an integrative approach. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2005, vol.6, n.2, pp. 01-18. ISSN 1677-2970.

The author suggests an integrative approach on empathy based on the most recent works in psychology and neurosciences. An exploration is made on the way in group analysis empathy is a method for investigation and may open a very special pathway to the interior mental life of our patients. Based on the most recent works (2000/2004) in this field a suggestion is made that in group analysis and in group psychotherapy this tool is amplified. A reflection is made on the way empathy is involved in the intrinsic therapeutic process of group analysis.

Keywords : Empathy; Group analysis; Neurosciences.
