RESUMO

Assessing scientific production on brief psychodynamic psychotherapies becomes a necessary activity for designing the profile of trends and perspectives in the area. The paper analyzes, describes and compares studies published in two national journals (Estudos de Psicologia/EP and Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria/JBP; 35,8% of the production) and in two foreign ones (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology/JCCP and Psychotherapy and Psychosomatis/PP; 64,2% of the production) (N=81) . The distribution of the production concentrates in the 1990s; on the whole, the national one rises in institutions of the Southeastern region and the foreign one in North American institutions. The male sex is the significant gender among authors, and the multiple authorship is the one appearing most frequently. The most frequent text support among the Brazilian ones is the book, and among the foreign ones are the articles. The most frequently journals in the articles are, in general, the ones analyzed: JBP, JCCP and mainly PP. National authors make significant use of foreign production for technical-theoretical foundation of their papers; among foreigners, the use of journals produced in their own countries. English is significantly the language of the references. The use of current references, between 0 and 5 years, is significant. In the Brazilian production the authors are quoted in a width ranging from 1 to 16 times and in the foreign one, from 1 to 66 times. In the national production David Malan, Sigmund Freud, Mauricio Knobel and Hector Fiorini are the most quoted; in the fore ign one, David Malan, Hans Strupp, David Shapiro, Lester Luborsky, Peter Sifneos and Ragnhild Husby. In general, empirical studies predominate. Adults of both sexes, seen individually, design the profile of the target population. Several pathologies/complaints are investigated; th ere are signs of some highlight to depression. Clinical scales are the most used tools for psychological assessment. The correlational design predominates in the empirical researches. The integrative theoretical model is the most frequent among Brazilian authors; among foreigners, the drive/structural is significantly the most used one. Altogether, qualitative differences do not appear in relation to the studied variables, although the foreign production is numerically greater.
