The author makes a study of the resistance in group based on the work of Siegmund Heinrich Foulkes, founder of the Group-Analytic Psychotherapy. Foulkes used the concepts of the Psychology of Gestalt and of the Theory of the Field to understand the change process´ in their groups, although those references passed unnoticed, maybe for the epistemological difficulty that he found in combining psychoanalysis and those theories. The author retakes the traces of Foulkes and develops, beginning with concepts of here and now, and figure and group a different vision in the Foulkesian perspective, waived by him, but not developed. Foulkes also has a phenomenological language which the author attempts to explore.
