NASCIMENTO, Gustavo Chiesa Gouveia. The written experience: the potentialities of group writing in the drug addiction clinic. Vínculo [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.2, pp. 1-12. ISSN 1806-2490.  http://dx.doi.org/10.32467/issn.19982-1492v18nesp.p207-227.

This paper aims to reflect on some possible contributions of writing, and more specifically the task of writing as a group mediation object, as a device for the drug addiction clinic. To this end, the temporality of the autobiographical reports of former drug users and the writing as a group mediator and transference object are problematized. Some contributions of psychoanalysis of drug addictions are presented to problematize the failures of the representational chains and the loss of the symbolic meaning to act that are underway in this clinical field and then reflect, from a clinical vignette, about the potentialities of the task of group writing as a catalyst for symbolization processes. The task of group writing proves to be a mobilizer and depository of precarious inscription psychic elements, being resistant to the aggressiveness of evacuatory actions and supporting the rescue of the convocatory dimension of language. The comprehension of the multiple group transferences, the transference with the mediator object and the transference with the task prove to be of fundamental value for the technical management and the interpretative function of the coordinators.

Keywords : mediating objects; drug addiction; operative groups.
