The group method of analysis refers to any group work which includes an analytic function, inspired by psychoanalytic principles as well groupanalytic ones. It starts from the fact that the human being is in essence a radically social being, and that the group is the matrix of the mental processes of the individual, which in turn are of a transpersonal nature.<\/p>\n

Just as psychoanalysis has the aim of making conscious what is unconscious, the group method of analysis aims at overcoming the resistances to cooperative functioning, which includes psychoanalytic considerations; in other words, it aspires to promoting an analytic attitude which facilitates the establishment of social contexts which in turn permit the study of sociological, psychological and biological factors that interfere with the capacity of cooperative action of the human being as an individual and as a species within its ecosystem.<\/p>\n

It is a methodology that can be taken on board by anybody who endorses these ideas or the ones following from them. In this sense, it not only addresses professionals from the therapeutic ambit but anybody interested in the process of change, individual or social. The group method of analysis entails interdisciplinary cross-fertilization that does not imply the loss of the original professional identity, something most important in approaching present social problems.<\/p>\n

It is not easy to neither explain nor understand the implications of \u201cthe group method of analysis\u201d. While we were debating about what texts could shed light on this question, we became aware that any approximation could only contribute a part of the meaning. The image which emerged in the group was the one of a puzzle, so we decided to identify at least what seemed to be the most relevant pieces of the puzzle. Here are the pieces which we are finding; to construct the puzzle and give it meaning depends on every reader, his resources and experience. We invite you to construct your own approach to what is the group method of analysis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
