Abstract

The present paper aims to outline the profile of professionals affiliated to the ABP, who work in Brazil, their geographical distribution and the characteristics of their clinical practice. The results obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire (n= 144) sent to professionals affiliated to the ABP showed, as an average profile: female, between 41 - 50 years of age, working in the area for more than 15 years, with a specialization course ( 80%). The most common theoretical orientation is Kleinian and, although seeking supervision and study groups, the vast majority (70%) do not have specific psychoanalytic training in the area of children and adolescents . Regarding clinical practice, it is observed that most patients are seen twice a week, a finding also found in a research carried out on the psychoanalytic practice of adults in Brazil.
