Conclusions:
In our paper we tried to show how psychological changes in the therapist during his passing through family life cycle influence the process of psychotherapy. Mutual perception, transference-countertransference processes, quality of interaction and even the content of the meeting change, . Because all the authors are women in the different family life cycles the whole process was presented from the feministic perspective, stressing the influence of the maternity in each of the phases of the family life cycle. In conseqence the role of work so important for the men was less stressed.
