Resumen

A medida que evoluciona la pandemia de la COVID-19, se ha vuelto cada vez más difícil encontrar un área relacionada con la salud que no se vea afectada por sus consecuencias, ya sea directa o indirectamente (Legido-Quigley et al., 2020). La psicoterapia grupal para pacientes hospitalizados no ha sido una excepción. Este informe describe el recorrido de nuestro grupo de pacientes con adicciones hospitalizados durante la pandemia.
Inpatient group psychotherapy for patients with substance abuse is a challenge in itself, especially amidst the changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions about people meeting together, shortage of health resources, healthcare staff burnout and communication obstacles as the obligation of mask wearing, all this add to the underestimation of the importance of group psychotherapy as part of inpatient treatment. Despite these barriers, we consider that inpatient group psychotherapy is more necessary than ever as inpatients suffer especially from isolation due to COVID-19 pandemic related measures.Therefore, it is essential to rethink a new way of inpatient group psychotherapy in times of COVID-19 pandemic.
