<br/><br/> Receiving families in a liberal practice, weakens the containing capacities of the therapist/therapists, who are caught in his/their counter-transfer (and inter-transfer) as an echo to the raw elements of trans-generational which infiltrate what the family puts repeatedly on the stage, this during a more or less long period of time. Therapist experimented the use of photolangage© when violence did attack the link and free association in the neo-group. This media does mobilize the affect and helps group elaboration.The family, in the time of the session, unconsciously presents a scenery where the therapists are caught into; it is then possible to say that this scenery “here and now” shall re-actualize the specificity of shadow zones included in the originaly sceneries belonging to group members, which constitute the basement of family narcissic ties. Present sceneries allow the family to show how it is, unawarely, crossed through by raw, traumatic elements of trans-generational; they inform about the way its members try to to cope with intrusive past, contained in family history. Photolangage© proposes in the session “third sceneries” that allow to channel excess excitation awakened by groupalty. This mediation can thus maintain the containment capacity of the therapy frame that is being wowen around the neo-group.
