The proposal of this thesis, based on psychosomatic theoretical literature, was to present the perception of women with vitiligo about a group psychological intervention on their coexistence with the disease. The participants were evaluated in two moments, with the use of the following instruments: semi-structured interview and group psychological intervention. The intervention was carried out in five encounters, with a sample of 12 women, of the State of Sergipe, divided into Group A (n=8) and B (n=4), aged between 20 and 72 years old, who live with the disease in the range of 5 to 58 years old. The intervention included the use of three resources: word, body, and art. The data were analyzed and grouped into five main themes: 1) perception of self; 2) perception of the disease; 3) perception of the relationship with the disease; 4) perception of friendly, lovely and family relations; 5) perception of group psychological clinical intervention. The overall results indicate, for all participants, different expressions of psychological suffering associated with the illness by vitiligo, pointing to a not recognized grieving process. Women complain that there is no social validation of clinical condition presented and, at the same time, it does not seem to allow the personal recognition of losses arising with the pathology. There was either the need for guidance to the family because one realizes that living with vitiligo has the potential to affect not only the people with the disease, but also their family members, in addition to the love and friendship relational contexts. We observed that the intervention allowed the participants to express the anguish and to recognize the limitations and defensive behaviors due to the illness, being perceived by them in a positive way, therefore, revealing itself as a useful resource in the care of patients with vitiligo, striving for the development of resiliency. Bring these issues to debate can contribute to the minimization of individual and collective effects, by the reduction of discrimination and stigmatization associated with the diagnosis, which can contribute to a more satisfying prognosis and improvements to the quality of life of the public
