Abstract

QUIROGA, Susana  and  CRYAN, Glenda. Therapeutic guide of the Focalised Therapy Group device - FTG for violent adolescents. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.69-80. ISSN 1851-1686.

Within the framework of the Program of Clinical Psychology for Adolescents, Southern Branch of the School of Psychology, UBA, a diagnostic-therapeutic device called Focalised Therapy Group- FTG has been created. This device involves forming closed groups with focalised topics and psychodynamic orientation, which consists of ten sessions that last an hour and a half each and are held once a week. In this research work we will present: 1- the importance of developing a clinic guide at an international level; 2- the intrapsychic and intersubjective description of the violent adolescents and the dificulties they have to be treated with the classic psychodynamic therapeutic approaches, 3- the features of the FTG device; 4- the therapeutic guide to the FTG device that includes the specific objectives, their development and the specific technique for each session. This therapeutic guide has been used with 9 FTG for violent early adolescents. The Analysis of the Outcome and the Therapeutic Process of the sample to which the guide has been applied lets us think that this device with predetermined objectives and specific tasks for each session is a stable support frame which contrasts the disruptive, changing and highly risky reality which these adolescents live in.

Keywords : Violent adolescents; Focalised Therapeutic Groups; Therapeutic Guide.
