A new approach to the study of the processes and perceptions of life experiences is being taken by psychologists, with emphasis on the understanding of the healthy aspect of human beings, the resilience. Seeing the family as a dynamic system, the present study adopted the theoretical framework of systems thinking, in order to identify and understand the care provided by health teams with respect to the use of the concept of resilience with patients and their families when dealing with a disease. A focus group was used as qualitative research method, considering that the energy generated by the group would result in deeper and more diverse answers. A multidisciplinary health care team participated in the study, and was invited to discuss a fictional case, addressing complaints of chronic pain. The answers of the participants were analyzed based on the studies of family resilience, according to Walsh. The team showed interest in addressing the needs of the fictional patient by using the concept of resilience, and more than that, was willing to put themselves in the place of the family. The group took into account the extraction of meaning from the family adversities and the connection between the patient and her relatives, considering the possible emotion instability resulting from the recent loss, and the physical distance between the patient and her relatives. They also focused attention on aspects such as overcoming adversities, flexibility, clarity of information, social and financial resources, open emotional expression and collaborative resolution of the problems of the patient, but with less emphasis, considering a perspective of work related to the care unit. No suggestions were made by the group with regards to religious or spiritual practices to cope with the complaint
