Relevant information about Social Psychology (Pichon Rivière).
- An overview of the treatment
Heavily influenced by dialectical thought and psychoanalysis, the Argentine psychiatrist Enrique Pichon Rivière opened in the '60s social psychology: a new perspective that serves to address the psychological conditions of the subjects.
In terms of Pichon Rivière: "mental processes are the expression of a dialectical relationship between subject and the external world, or perhaps more strictly, between necessity and external world."
Thus, from the viewpoint of social psychology, treatment aims to reveal how the social structure becomes unconscious fantasies, disturbing the subject's experience. To do so, investigates the process of constituting the subjectivity from the macro-social.
The subject-world is conflictive and contradictory, he maintains a transforming relation with the world.
From this view, the subject is a creature of needs, and simultaneously, one inevitably be produced, resulting from the interaction between individuals, groups and classes. In this sense, the subject is a kind of "open system" which is completed by interacting with its environment.
In this context, the social psychologist's role is to hold spaces or operator group participation to give to the investigation of the needs of the subjects.
Thus, this type of therapy is designed to display and resolution of barriers, encouraging learning and communication processes within groups. In this sense, the social psychologist's diagnosis aims primarily to investigate the links of the subjects.
- What problem/ s is expected to be solved
In principle, the social psychologist conducts a psychoanalytic reading of the social collective. It does from heterogenous materials that can appear in terms of absences, speeches, standardisations, procedures and practices established by an institution.
In all the cases, the undesirable effect always will constitute certain human suffering. In that place it is where the operator will carry out his interpretative work.
Thus, the objective of this therapy is to respond to specific group problems: communication problems, rivalries between the parties, misunderstandings or other conflicts.
Social psychology investigates the interaction between subjects (inter-) and that one that occurs within the same subject (intrasubjective).
In this sense, it is a significant intervention, directional and operational.
It is significant because it aims to form a more complex symbolically to the subjects, all the social group, is directional because it revolves around a task, and it is operational because it oriented to a practice or praxis.
The areas of insertion of a social psychologist are groups, organizations and other community spaces.
His starting point is always a particular practice. Then, the experience of this practice, conceptualized by a critique and criticism, increasing objectivity achieved by balancing the relations between subjects and their environment.
The social psychology of Pichon Rivière poses a cure for symbolization. This means that in places where there are silences or institutional gaps where there is repetition without reflection, where there is suffering, the operator must introduce a device intended to produce symbolizing process.
The preferred device for carrying out these procedures is called Task Force. The group link network is the structure that allows access to a collective knowledge that is unknown as such.
Then from the definition of a task, the operator commences to produce the device group. Thus, in the interaction conscious and reflective of a common practice, will be the same group that relieve the unconscious knowledge that allows subjective processing required to achieve the changes sought.
In general, the task force goes to one, two or three weekly meetings. The average duration of hours.
Sometimes the extent of treatment may coincide with the time spent by members within the institution, as it can be the case of a school.
However, as interventions tend to be directional, the total duration of therapy is equivalent to short-no more than 20 meetings, or just above.
Because intervention is defined in relation to a particular group, the institutional goal will vary in each case.
The methodologies and techniques created by Pichon Rivière allow addressing problems in different fields (health, education, health, recreation, businesses, seniors, tourism, sports, mediation, research, etc.).
The directionality of treatment promotes outcome in view of projects and objectives, emerging from relational structures proposed by the institutional framework.
It is important to know the specifics of each case require a separate technical management. Thus, operators tend to specialize in areas of intervention. Also, the promotion and health prevention are tasks that usually meet this approach.
In 1966, Pichon Rivière wrote in his weekly column for the magazine “Primera Plana” that the modernization brought prepared a fragmentation of the referential schemes, that is to say, the models to think, to feel and to do in the world. Today, in a context signed by the fragmentation, the emptiness is much greater. In this sense, to understand that social psychology is not a group psychology but rather a frame that allows to think problematic the subjective ones, group, institutional and communitarian of the modern society, augurs a good future to the practice.
