[Cognitive group therapy]

This paper presents a brief history of group psychotherapy and it also makes a difference between two main kinds of cognitive group therapy: one linked to behavioral approaches and another one more related to postmodern, constructivist and narrative theories. Several domains where these approaches are used are exposed and the differences between one kind of cognitive group therapy and the other are put forward. While the behavioral like intends to fix errors or eliminate what does not work properly, the constructivist like tries to reconstruct a history which can be functional to subjective experience. At last, AIGLE depicts its integrative approach.
