The data involve aspects of both the history and the evaluation of the subject, of his therapeutic process in a group and the participation of his mother in the group, along with family members. The analysis made it possible to identify several questions in the family and in group activities that could be identified and translated, in the therapeutic context, while some necessities of the subject got the constitutive status of the goals and the phonoaudiological action which considers the constitution of subjectivity as a possibility of re-meaning and re-constituting the phonoaudiological action which rebounds over the social subject and his health, in an amplified manner.
