Group understanding is essential in the approach to psychological suffering that is carried out in our institution from its beginnings. All psychotherapeutic and treatment programs offered at the Basurto Hospital Psychiatry Service include some kind of group work, both in the Acute Care Unit and in specific intervention programs such as the Eating Behavior Disorders Unit, Personality Disorder Programs, First Episodes, etc. Within this context, the objectives of this paper are to describe the experience of a creative writing workshop, which is carried out on a monthly basis in the Basurto Hospital Acute Psychiatric Unit. Group analytic interpretation is provided, as well as a reflection on the therapeutic factors of group experience. Previously, a non-exhaustive review of the literature regarding the use of writing and poetry in the field of mental health will be carried out.

Keywords : art therapy; group-analysis; poetry; acute care unit.
