Abstract

Families today are facing processes of change, and professionals in areas such as psychology must prepare themselves to work with this new reality. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between a family adjustment arising from a divorce and a child's behavior problems, as well as identify and describe effective interventions in the psychotherapeutic process with behavioral approach. The study confirmed previous research data, considering that the problem behavior was related to family adversities. Moreover, tests carried out at the end of the psychotherapeutic intervention showed a reduction in problem behavior.
