摘要：In the last years it has been recognized that quali- tative — as well as quantitative — research can inform clinical practice, making important contributions, and helping to bridging the gap between research and practice in psychotherapy. However, most psy- chotherapy research, both with quantitative and qual- itative methodology has been done with adults, neglecting either the importance of empirical studies with children and adolescents and the special charac- teristics of psychotherapy in these age groups, which are sensitive to developmental issues (Midgley, 2004). In the recent years, it has been created a special inter- est group of Society for Psychotherapy Research on Child and Family Therapy Research (SPR-CaFTR), which aim is to improve the specificity of this field; SPR-CaFTR organized in the last SPR meetings dif- ferent panels and discussions related to this topic, showing how qualitative and quantitative research in child an adolescent psychotherapy is growing. Despite this growing interest, it is difficult to find published papers using qualitative and quantitative research in child and adolescent psychotherapy.
