This article examines the fundamentals of using the autobiographical approach in intervention, by looking at the relationship between the facilitator and the participant. It first presents a modeled diagram based on a review from the field of knowledge. It then describes the use of the autobiographical approach in intervention with groups of seniors in rural Franco-Ontarian settings, within a Community Health Centre. Next, the posture of the facilitator-guide-therapist is explored. In the end, the authors conclude on the advantages of the autobiographical approach related to the creation of spaces for the expression of oneself and the redefinition of one's identity, the enhancement of the life story, the relations of reciprocity, and the absence of power relationship.
