RESUMO

This research aimed to comprehend the experience of a team composed by college students towards the task of elaborating an academic project during one year and it is characterized as an exploratory qualitative study. Humanistic Psychology offered the theoretical reference more specifically through the Philosophy of the Implicit developed by Eugene T. Gendlin. During one year, the researcher participated on thirteen team meetings. Team members, as well as the researcher, wrote individual Meaning Versions at the end of every reunion in order to grasp their impressions about each stage of the process. Those reports were organized in a chart made of ninety-one Meaning Versions and the resulting psychological comprehension. The researcher narrated the group process from his own experience as a participant generating a report about the intersubjective intricacy. The method used by the researcher to make explicit the elements of his own subjectivity all the way through the process of interpretating the experience was Thinking at the Edge TAE, developed by Gendlin. This resource also made possible to illustrate how, from a psychological point of view, the creation of an experience meaning happens. It is understood that the process of this task centered team made possible the emergence of a group that shared a common meaning. Two types of leadership emerged during the process: one task centered and the other type focused on the development of a group meaning. Three different levels were identified regarding the manner how the six members organized themselves and contributed towards the task development. The research made it possible to comprehend the group as a collective organism endowed with its own identity. From this perspective, it was possible to understand some particularities of group dynamics as well the potential repercussion of this study for applications in various fields, especially professional environments.
