TURRO ORTEGA, Clàudia; RAMIREZ CORVERA, M.ª Teresa  e  KRAUSE JACOB, Mariane. A group work experience in Chile with leaders of social organizations. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.3, pp.375-392. ISSN 2173-4712.

The psychological-communitarian intervention which has framed the group-work presented in this article, emerged from the need of support expressed by the neighbours of the Chilean community of La Victoria to the governmental bodies, due to insecurity situations bound to micro traffic. This group-intervention took place during 2003 and 2004 with representatives of different social organizations of La Victoria. The aim of the intervention was to form a work team called "Coordinator of social organizations" that was able to develop communitarian projects to maximize the social participation of the population. This process was conducted by two psychologists who mainly used popular education participation techniques as the work methodology. These techniques were addressed to strengthen the socio-emotional abilities and the task abilities of the members of the group. In the end the results show relation with the specific aims proposed for the group-intervention, the achievements, and various reflections around the experience. Especially mentioned are the anchorage of the cultural and historical reality of the community La Victoria in some groupbehaviours, the importance of the process of insertion in the community, and the reflection about the tasks of the professional team.
