This study aimed to compare the psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDT) process of a child with internalising symptoms to Brazilian prototypes of Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and PDT for children with internalizing and externalizing disorders. For that purpose, pairs of judges rated all PDT sessions (n=40) of a girl with internalising symptoms using the Child Psychotherapy Q Set (CPQ). The degrees of similarity to the Brazilian prototypes were assessed via Pearson correlation. The results indicated that the treatment presented simultaneous significant similarity to the prototypes of CBT and PDT for children with internalising disorders. The similarity to the prototype of PDT for children with externalising disorders was not significant in this treatment. The findings suggest that the Brazilian prototypes of child psychotherapy were a useful assessment tool for this psychotherapeutic process. The data presented indicate that, on clinical practice, psychotherapies features overlap, and child psychotherapy processes have an integrative nature.
