Abstract: The purpose of the research was to investigate the emotions of the doctor and their perception of the patient that affects him. This study used a multimethod research and evaluated in quantitative phase, thirty (30) doctors serving in office. For the qualitative phase were chosen four (4) doctors for an in-depth interview as a Case Study. The instruments used for the analysis were: sociodemographic questionnaire, the Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults Lipp (ISSL) and the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) and a semi-structured interview. The results showed that 56.7% of doctors experienced symptoms of stress, which is an index within the expected parameters of the test and there was no relationship between the sociodemographic variables. In relation to emotional perception there was no difference between the sample results and the general population, but differences were found in the relation to sociodemographic variables: age, time since graduation, average handle time (consultation) and weekly hours devoted to work in the office, concluding that older doctors, with more time after graduation and more time in consultation with the patient, felt more impacted on the emotional stimuli than other doctors; and doctors who work more hours per week in the office perceived the stimuli in a less pleasant way than other doctors. DicionárioThese data were confirmed by groups of four (4) clusters. It was conducted by a case study following the approach of Jungian theory with a representative of each cluster from pre-set categories related to the research objectives, content and factors attributed to stress; emotional perception; the role of emotion in the doctor-patient relationship; the emotions aroused by difficult patient and not difficult patient and strategies for dealing with emotions. The results revealed that the emotions could influence attitudes and perceptions in the medical activity. There was a suffering from physicians due to an emotional wound that is not recognized and poorly understood, which can result in projections in patients.
