HISTORICAL VISION AND CURRENT STATUS OF RESEARCH IN PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH CHILDREN


Abstract
The paper offers a panoramic view about the history and state of research in psychotherapy with children. This field has been historically in the shadow of research in psychotherapy with adults. Therefore, the proposed review has the intention of contributing to the scarse available information in Spanish language, on the evolution of child psychotherapy research. Historical and contextual antecedents are included, as well as exploration of future paths of research within this field. In general, a broad development of research in child psychotherapy is present in Europe and the United States, contrasting the low production in this matter in Latin America.

Keywords
