BACKGROUND: Adjustment Disorder has received little attention, both in Brazil and in the international literature. It is important to identify the available options for pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. OBJECTIVES: A systematic review of the published articles which study or mention any method of clinical intervention for Adjustment Disorder. METHODS: Systematic review of studies indexed in two databases: PsycINFO and PubMed/Medline. RESULTS: From the 80's to the current decade, few studies were found. Among the studies that reported any kind of treatment, nine refer to psychotherapy, four to pharmacotherapy and two refer to phytotherapy. Different psychotherapeutic approaches have been mentioned; however, cognitive-behavioral therapy appeared more frequently. Among pharmacotherapeutic approaches, the most cited were benzodiazepines, atypical antidepressants and nonbenzodiazepine anti-anxiety medications. About phytotherapy, the use of Ginkgo Biloba and Euphytose® was cited. DISCUSSION: the treatment of adjustment disorder still requires more attention from the academic field as well as a larger number of empirical research. Additional studies are needed, especially regarding pharmacotherapy.
