During the last years, the interest for quality of life and its assessment has increased in Psychology. The possibility of using quality of life as a clinical relevant measure of psychotherapeutic outcomes has been focus of both studies and development of instruments for measuring quality of life, mainly for adults.

Recomendations are made about the criteria of evaluation of children’s quality of life measures and their applications.
