Relational Group Process and Intersubjectivity: Presence and Attunement as Therapeutic Factors in Group Psychotherapy

Abstract

Groups allow participants to see with increased clarity that the quality of experience, of group atmosphere, and the history of events are not dependent on anybody in particular, but is instead the result of a co-construction. Placing an intersubjective focus in psychotherapy allows to deepen the psychotherapeutic process and to restore the injuries to the Self. Integrative Psychotherapy gives useful method to group psychotherapy work to make effective interventions with an intersubjective approach.
