The objective of the present thesis was to carry out an appraisal of the experience of a health team whose way of functioning allowed it to act as its own care-provider. The team was part of a health-care program for high blood pressure patients, structured according to the social support concept, and centered both around meetings of professionals of different areas and specialties, as well as support group meetings of patients. The thesis describes the program s structure and analyses the health team dynamics using interviews carried out with nine of the professionals who participated in it, while keeping the focus on the way they experienced their relationship. Based on their statements, it was shown and discussed the similarity between what had happened in the reported experience and the dynamics described by Winnicott concerning the concept of holding, and its need throughout adult life. It was concluded that a health team can be a care-provider of itself, as long as it can experience, within itself, similar dynamics to the relationship experienced in early development of a good enough holding.
