Abstract
The instrumentation of a specific device and setting is required for the Multifamily Psychoanalysis to develop. We are referring to complex groups which are heterogeneous, “multitudinous”, and open. The participants may come alone, with members of their family or with whoever they wish, whenever they wish, in a free and voluntary participation manner.
The groups were created by J. García Badaracco (M.D.) initially for a severely mentally ill patient centered approach. He said: -“when I realized the therapeutic session was lived as a submission and as an imposition, I gave a one-hundred and eighty degree turn and attempted to create a freer and more spontaneous relationship”- nowadays, it is considered that these groups offer an enormous framework of action in many fields.
They offer a privileged environment to process disruptive and/or traumatic situations, which can turn into individual, family, cross-generational and social discontinuity and subjective ruptures.
I intend to substantiate in my exposition by means of psychoanalytical concepts, which group and individual psychic paths enable, according to my criterion, these processing possibilities.
