The article proposes a reflection on the ethical dimension in the 21st century and its application in the group psychotherapeutic process. We start reviewing the different approaches to the ethical question, being focus on the conceptual understanding of the ethics and morality concepts. Then we develop what we have called "ethics of encounter". This ethics is closely linked to the evolutionary process of the group and the moral development in the human being. We emphasize the concept of interdependence as a response to this complex binomial dependence-freedom. This is the basis of the ethics we defend as a central point of any group therapeutic process which is inseparable from the social context of the 21st century.
