The objective of this research is to study the countertransference of the psychologist as a coordinator of group, how he deals with it, which difficulties he may face. To reach this objective a qualitative method was used. Four female psychologists who worked with groups based on the psychoanalytic theory answered a semi-structured interview which was recorded, transcribed and analyzed through the method of content analysis. It was possible to identify the different feelings of the psychologist that emerge in the group situation and to see how he manages them. Characteristics of countertransference in a group situation, questions concerning groups in psychoanalysis and the professional formation of the psychologist are discussed.
