Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the Brazilian version of the instrument APQ (Adolescent Psychotherapy Q-Set), including its translation and initial adaptation, followed by the construction of psychotherapy prototypes for psychoanalytic and cognitivebehavioral approaches. A total of 10 psychoanalytic and 10 cognitive-behavioral therapists were asked to classify the APQ items in relation to relevance to their theoretical model. Data were analyzed with factor analysis. The extraction of two factors explained 48.07% of the total variance. The Cronbach’s alpha for the psychoanalytic factor was 0.85 and for the cognitive-behavioral factor, 0.86. The former presented factor loadings ranging from .61 to .73, whilst the latter from .49 to 80. The prototypes were developed through linear regression calculations of each APQ item’s contribution to each of the factors. It was observed that the two prototypes adequately discriminated psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral approaches, indicating that the APQ is an appropriate tool for research in psychotherapy.

The study aimed to investigate delusion formation in paranoid type schizophrenia through the evaluation of the relation between specific in-session events and the session outcome. Six transcripts of integrative psychotherapy sessions -three with good and three with bad outcome- of an individual suffering from paranoid type schizophrenic symptoms were evaluated by five raters in order: a) to locate the in-session events related to delusion formation and b) to explore the relation of these events to a number of mechanisms postulated to be involved in delusion formation, utilizing the newly developed Scale for the In-session Investigation of Delusion Formation. Although, no significant differences were found in the total number of the in-session events counted in the sessions with good and bad outcome, the evaluations obtained by the raters were found to be affected by the patient’s general decrease in psychopathological symptoms due to a significant parallel reduction of anxiety and delusions in paranoid type schizophrenia.
