O trabalho psicoterapêutico com grupos na perspectiva construcionista

Abstract

This work seeks to understand, through academic literature, how group therapeutic work in the constructionist perspective is configured and how the exchanges of participants' experiences can promote transformations/changes in these people's lives, building new meanings. For this, we are guided by bibliographic material accessed in databases: SciELO, Google Scholar, CAPES journals, scientific journals and books in the field of Psychology. It resulted in 74 academic papers, including journal articles and books referring to the area of interest. Of these, we selected 22 articles and 8 books produced from 1990 to 2021 - because they contemplate my intention in this work -, most of which were produced from the year 2000. This material results in an explanation of the trajectory of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic group work; the constructionist approach as a treatment method based on dialogue and exchange, through language and social constructionism in group therapies. This perspective can serve as a facilitating agent in the psychosocial care of one or more communities, having dialogue and language as drivers of dialogic exchanges that allow the change/transformation and resignification of individuals' subjectivities. The constructionist perspective, as a guide to work with therapeutic groups in environments that deal with public health, can provide ways to facilitate the psychosocial care of a community, given the emphasis on language, when producing dialogues capable of promoting relational changes, developing ideas that are limited by the culture, by the social environment, by the experiences of people.
