The objective was to examine if the "diagnostics group" technique applied to adolescents is efficient enough to make them aware of acting out phenomena and if it may be used to provide the appropriate means to understand actings implemented into the group. The chosen method was "applied psychoanalysis" that aims at practical results. Six adolescents between 13 and 14 years old of both genders participated in the research and the "diagnostics group" technique was applied to ten 90-minute meetings. Mathieu's (1967) "Contents Analysis" technique was adopted to analyze the collected data, which was then interpreted according to psychoanalytic and group-analytic references. The present study allowed us to understand acting out as a primitive process featuring archaic defense mechanisms, such as projection, dissociation, denial, disruption. In our group of adolescents, acting out occurred in two different ways, i.e., through communication and as an attack on group ties. As the meetings progressed, acting out decreased, which made us reflect on the importance of the group for those adolescents. We concluded that the group of adolescents acted on affective levels and that its members went through several situations of sensitization. Languages used were mainly symbolic, emotional, and marked by gestures. An atmosphere of cooperation between adolescents-colleagues was developed, which supported individual evolution. It was notable that the group technique applied to this research proved to be an efficient instrument to study the acting out of adolescents within the group. / O presente estudo teve como finalidade compreender psicanaliticamente as atua??es de um grupo de adolescentes. O objetivo foi verificar se a t?cnica de grupo de diagn?stico aplicado em adolescentes ? eficaz para sensibiliz?-los aos fen?menos do acting out e se possibilita a busca de meios apropriados para compreender essas atua??es que se implantam no grupo. O m?todo escolhido foi psican?lise aplicada , que visa fins pr?ticos. Participaram da pesquisa seis adolescentes, com idades de 13-14 anos, de ambos os sexos. A t?cnica utilizada foi o grupo de diagn?stico . Foram realizados dez encontros, com dura??o de uma hora e trinta minutos. Para a an?lise do material coletado foi adotada a t?cnica de An?lise de Conte?do , proposta por Mathieu (1967), e interpretada de acordo com o referencial psicanal?tico e grupanal?tico. Este estudo possibilitou entendermos o acting out enquanto um processo primitivo, que usa de mecanismos de defesa arcaicos, como proje??o, dissocia??o, nega??o, cis?o. O acting no grupo de adolescentes surgiu atrav?s de duas formas. A primeira em forma de comunica??o e a segunda enquanto um ataque ao v?nculo grupal. No decorrer dos encontros, as atua??es foram diminuindo, o que nos fez pensar na import?ncia do grupo para esses adolescentes. Conclu?mos que o grupo de adolescentes atuou em n?veis afetivos e os participantes passaram por diversas situa??es de sensibiliza??o. A natureza das linguagens utilizadas foi mais simb?licas, emocional e gestual. Desenvolveu-se uma atmosfera de coopera??o entre colegas-adolescentes, favorecendo as evolu??es individuais. Foi not?vel que a t?cnica de grupo praticada nesta pesquisa constituiu-se num instrumento eficaz para estudar o fen?meno do acting out do adolescente no grupo.
