Therapeutic group is an elective tool to treat alcohol abuse problems (Christie, Cheethan & Lubman, 2020), which often involves young patients with an inadequate capacity for emotional self-regulation (Martins et al., 2018). This contribution presents some qualitative and quantitative data on process and outcome analysis of a therapeutic group with young patients in an outpatient service, to highlight how the group becomes a context of affective investment, with repercussions on emotional regulation and craving management. It will also be discussed how some significant elements "nascent phase" and "Community of brothers" phase in group development process (Neri2017) correlate with outcomes
