FERREIRA, Renata Santos Leme. Group Therapy Improvement: Adaptation to the Online Context. Vínculo [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.2, pp.244-253.  Epub Sep 23, 2024. ISSN 1806-2490.  https://doi.org/10.32467/issn.1982-1492v19n2a9.

This is an Experience Report on the Improvement Group Coordination and Management. The Experience occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, challenges and adaptations were present in daily and academic life. Questions about the success of the task were raised after the adaptation of the Group Therapy to the modality due to the pandemic context. The usage of online devices to enhance group therapists is a relatively new field, justifying the relevance of this work. Field Diary was used for data collection. We opted for the theoretical framework of Pichon-Rivière, and the Psychoanalysis of Binding Configurations’ authors, who discuss the issue of virtuality today. We understand that the adaptation to the online model enabled the continuity of scheduled group activities and the existence of training spaces, exchanges, and support peers. The Psychoanalytic Reflection Group was fundamental in this context, it favored learning and the development of skills. It provided the opportunity to build, strengthen bonds, and encourage critical and creative stances in the face of the challenges, limits, and potentials of adapting to the online model; and welcomed the experiences of improvements resulting from the pandemic state.

Keywords : Improvement; online group; psychoanalytic reflection group.
