The psychotherapy group,inmigrant’s camp

Abstract

I propose to see the various psychotherapeutic and care spaces as immigrant camps. Each patient must emigrate, even for a few hours, from their home and family (his country) to another area in which he meets others whom he must attempt to understand. Together, they have to develop their own culture, that of the psychotherapy group, in which to develop new ways of speaking, of understanding their reality and those of others. The culture that is created there, the matrix, will be the one that will allow them to change their points of view and return to their ‘country’, their family, with new learning and other ways of relating.
