Abstract

CASTELLANOS, Sergio  and  TREVISI, Carolina. Franja T: a group of intervention strategy based on the theory of the transitional phenomena. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.2, pp.231-244. ISSN 1657-9267.

Franja T is based on the psychoanalytic theory of D. Winnicott who affirms that the flaws of the facilitating environment, which occur during the maturation processes of the baby and originate most mental disorders, can be corrected. The corrective experience is made possible through the transitional phenomena which start with the presence of play: a universal sign of health and is in itself therapeutic. Franja T offers the subject a transitional experience where he/ she may have the possibility to transform themselves and other by engaging in ludical activities. During the relationship between the external and interior worlds of the participants, the separation with the mother and other situations that imply suffering can become tolerable and acceptable, being able to give them sense. The research-intervention process with Franja T permits to affirm that this strategy is a potential transitional space where the patients are holded, listened to in a psychoanalytical manner and their desire is respected. Franja T as a group intervention strategy has the potential to be applied to several of Colombia’s mental health issues, from a preventive and care perspective.
