The aim of this paper was to characterize youth clients from a university school-clinic of psychological assessment between the years 2009 and 2011. Participants were fifty-five children and adolescents aged between 6 and 18 years old. The instruments were a screening questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 6/18). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and differences between boys and girls on the CBCL scale were evaluated using Chi-square Test. The results indicated that the majority of referrals were made by doctors, there was a prevalence of child and adolescent males, and internalizing problems predominated over externalizing behaviors. There was a high percentage of complaints related to learning and attentional problems.Downloads
