Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD), known by its chronicity, complexity and high rates of morbidity and mortality, is one of the main causes of disability in the world. There is growing evidence that its path can be changed by psychotherapy approaches, such as psychoeducation, which improves one's social and occupational behavior and capacity to deal with stressful situations. This study is an experience report about a psychoeducational group for individuals with BAD and their relatives, which consisted on reflecting upon the components of the mental health practice paradigm. Reflecting upon the psychosocial and asylum ways regarding the conceptions of object and mode of work permitted to locate the group in a psychosocial manner, as knowledge and experience favor the autonomy of the individuals, who have more chances to face the difficulties that occur in their suffering-existence process.
双相情感障碍（BAD）以其慢性、复杂性以及高发病率和死亡率而闻名，是全球致残的主要原因之一。越来越多的证据表明，其病程可以通过心理治疗方法改变，比如心理教育，它能改善一个人的社交和职业行为以及应对压力情境的能力。本研究是一份关于为双相情感障碍患者及其亲属开展的心理教育小组的经验报告，该小组围绕心理健康实践范式的组成部分进行反思。反思关于客体概念和工作模式的心理社会及庇护方式，有助于以心理社会方式定位该小组，因为知识和经验有利于个体的自主性，使他们更有机会面对在其痛苦生存过程中出现的困难。
