To inhabit the institutions:

tool box for the analysis and the accompaniment of collective situations

Abstract

This article communicates the results of the Final Integration Work (FIT) presented at the end of the Career of Specialization in Clinical, Institutional and Community Psychology. The title is “Institutional Accompaniment: tool box for the work of the teams in the construction, crisis and / or refoundation of institutions”. It was directed by Dr. Rosana Onocko Campos. The FIT aimed to construct a tool box which promotes the work of the groups organized for a task, in more or less institutional situations. The used methodology was the critical elucidation: to think what we did to know what we think. The conceptual path can be summarized in the following hypotheses: The analyzers, principal tool of the Institutional Analysis (Lourau, 1975, 1980, 2001), operate in pursuit of the dissolution of the social forms coagulated as the bureaucracy; this means that its use promotes partially processes of desinstitutionalization. On the other hand, the processes of institutionalization of emergent collective situations led us to discern the group moments of series, fusion, brotherhood–terror and organization (Sartre, 1963). For each of these situations we discernspecific inteventions of Institucional Acompaniment: (a) Interventions of integration: construction or report of a common–point that catalyzes the passage from the serie towards the fusion. (b) Interventions of leave: the historical–social problematic and the primary task of the institution exceed the identity closure of the brotherhood–terror. (c) Interventions of transversality: specification and posts in connection of horizontal and vertical functions for the organization of the working–groups.
