Abstract

A functional analysis of aggressive behaviors and relationship problems at school of an 11-year boy was performed through means of a game, which was devised in child behavior therapy sessions. With the help of this game, behavior problems of the child became known, were defined, and its possible functions understood. Some of the problems presented by the child were the same as those told by the parents and school officials, however the game allowed knowledge of other problems, and permitted a better understanding of the case through information given by the child while playing.

Keywords: child behavior terapy; game; functional analysis.
