RUFATTO, Amaury Tadeu. The group as a learning place. Vínculo [online]. 2006, vol.3, n.3, pp. 37-45. ISSN 1806-2490.

The propose of this work is to discuss different experience degrees that a psychoanalytic base psychotherapeutic group can offer: the setting, the psychotherapist/coordinator character, social labels’ deconstruction, the intense emotional existence, the perception of the other’s place and the need of his/her as way to self-perception. Therefore, I will use metaphors of Hear and Listen. It’s in the other’s presence, as an equal and at the same time different, that we can confront ourselves with the whole range of emotional aspects. Would there be just one stranger inside of the group? Or would there also be one stranger inside of the group that inhabits each one of us? The psychoanalytic base therapeutic group makes possible the explanation of transfers and counter-transfers’ processes involved in the human relationships, as well as the intra-subjective, inter-subjective, and trans-subjective aspects involved in the relationships. Immersed in the thick broth that the group produces, their participants, without exception, are placed towards different emotional needs. To learn here concerns to an experience. To uncover. To reveal something that contains the key for new perspectives.
