| Summary: | This article aims to present in details and to argue for the method of Groups of Reflection (GR) and the contributions these
may bring in the transformations of work to ergonomics, worker health, collective health and the practices for prevention, treatment
and rehabilitation in social psychology and occupational therapy. GRs are temporary groups created preferentially outside the workplace
during working hours and having a delegate and advisory participation. GRs use the technique and theoretical grounds of Pichon-
Riviére’s operative groups (OGs) in the animation of groups, a suitable form of tripartite group, and activity as an instrumental resource.
In addition to the positive effect in communication and psychosocial environment, GRs contribute for improvements in interpersonal
relationships, personal cooperation, behavior and work performance, surpassing the resistance to change and leading to learning for all
participants. These positive effects favor changes in the conditions and organization of work. GRs represent a form of useful psychosocial
intervention in the confrontation of obstacles commonly found in the interventions in work, in rehabilitation processes and professional
insertion through the implicit task, and with the concrete participation of the several social actors (different hierarchic levels). |
