Several are the strategy interventions in the field of clinical psychology and couple psychotherapy present itself as one of these possibilities. It is understood that couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to help the couple to become aware of content before unconscious so they can be analyzed and elaborated. In this context it is important to analyze transference mechanisms, countertransference, resistance, beyond the phenomenon of generational psychic transmission and unconscious pacts. Faced with this panorama, the objective is to develop a theoretical and clinical study on couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy, through the analysis of a case treated at a psychological university clinic. Among the results, through the understanding of countertransference, it was possible to notice that the couple's reluctance to look into in conjugal character issues was linked to the fact that intuitively they could realize that the unconscious pact that kept them together could undo if it was stripped and elaborated in therapy. Given this context, the article discusses the work that was possible to be done in the therapeutic process.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; psychotherapy; couple.
