ROSA, Catiane Pinheiro da et al. Interventions in psychodynamic psychotherapy of a child with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.2, pp. 281-301. ISSN 0103-5665. http://dx.doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438V0031N02A04.
Disruptive disorders present a challenge for the psychodynamic therapeutic approach. This study aimed at analyzing the psychodynamic psychotherapy process of a child with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), focusing on the therapist's interventions. The study had a mixed, descriptive, longitudinal design, adopting the systematic case study procedure. The participants were a seven-year-old boy and his therapist. For the study of the process, the Child Psychotherapy Q-set (CPQ) and the therapist's report were used. The results showed a resistant and hostile child, whose sessions had relevant contents regarding his conflicts. The therapist used a wide spectrum of interventions, ranging from psychodynamic and expressive, to more supportive interventions, throughout the treatment. The study showed that psychotherapy with these children requires the therapist to display flexibility, as well as an empathic and affectively engaged stance.
