MOREIRA, Lara Mundim; CALIA, Gustavo Gomes; FRANCA, João Vitor Lemos  and  CASTANHO, Pablo. Baião de um, or party of one: challenges on handling aggressiveness in a psychotherapeutic group. Vínculo [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.2, pp. 1-11. ISSN 1806-2490.  http://dx.doi.org/10.32467/issn.19982-1492v18nesp.p354-374.

The article aims to discuss challenges on handling aggressiveness in a psychotherapeutic group, from the hypothesis that, in some moments, aggressiveness presents itself as a threat to the group's environment. For this, we will start with the presentation of a clinical case treated in a therapeutic group of psychoanalytic guidance in co-therapy at the Clinical School of the Institute of Psychology of the University of São Paulo. If according to central authors in psychoanalysis we conceive aggressiveness as a fundamental experience to the psychic constitution itself (inexorably present in the relationship between the self and the other), we understand that a fundamental condition for the experience of care in a therapeutic group is being able to address to another that is available. Thus, based on the frame functions proposed by Bleger and Roussillon, we discuss the conditions of constancy of the psychoanalytic therapeutic experience - an experience that we understand does not happen without some violence / rupture. Finally, in the case presented, we aimed in avoiding the potential experience of helplessness that aggressiveness would put at stake in the group, as we conceive it, with Kaës, as composed of common and shared psychic spaces.
