In this article the authors introduce a co-therapy intervention for those patients who show difficulties in interpersonal communication due to a disfunction in affective regulation. Such clinical experience is part of the cognitive-evolutional theoretical frame and it is the result of a double setting: group and individual ones. This integrated approach aimed to improve the patients’ emotional skills, helping them in recognising and managing emotions, overcoming the risk of stalemate in clinical dialogue when emotional experiences meet no verbal symbolization.
