SANTOS, Manuel J. Pires dos  e  ZASLAVSKY, Jacó. Researching concepts and tendencies in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.2, pp. 115-124. ISSN 0486-641X.

This work discusses the difficulties and possibilities of developing research in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, showing how the practical application of the qualitative methodology by analyzing the content may be very useful from the scientific perspective, in conceptual, empirical and clinical research, and, consequently, observes tendencies and provides a base for further investigation. A few current trends of conceptual qualitative investigation in psychoanalysis are mentioned, and the studies developed in the graduate program of Psychiatry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul on countertransference and the analytic process, recently published in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis are discussed as examples of these possibilities.

Palavras-chave : Psychotherapy and psychoanalytic investigation; Conceptual research; Empirical research; Countertransference and psychoanalytic process.
