Trencadís,Social Imaging Group (SIG)

Abstract

Trencadís, SIG is a new approach to working in large art therapy groups that has emerged out of a Barcelona based art therapy training that has from its inception included a group analytic large group as a principal experiential learning device. Trencadís, SIG combines two methods of working with groups: the group analytic large group and art psychotherapy. Within a structured framework we combine, in a single session model, image-making, metaphor and collaborative art work, using an art technique belonging to the local Catalan social unconscious.
