Abstract

ContextThe article is situated in the field of group psychotherapy for children and refers to psychoanalytical metapsychology. It presents two clinical experiments around two group therapeutic interventions that question, each in their own way : being “inside” and “outside” the walls, the problematic of space as a psychic envelope and the related therapeutic processes. ObjectivesThe authors set out to develop and comment several clinical sequences, comparing the two therapeutic devices. MethodIt is based on evidence from practice, i.e. evaluating the psychic processes at work in this clinical experimentation. ResultsBased on sensorimotricity, the “non-human” dimension of the space of the therapeutic framework and the “human” groupality would participate in the process of constitution-reconstitution of psychic envelopes, allowing the emergence of narrativity through playing and through progression in space. ConclusionThe centrifugal and centripetal motility identified in these two therapeutic groups, as well as the spatial representations implemented in support of movement and its temporal organization, serve as a basis for the subjective appropriation by narrativity.
