It is important that the processes in each of these areas are supported by a specific framework that allows a comprehensive, timely and patient-friendly understanding of the case. In Mexico, the demand for psychological care that parents perform for their children is more and more recurrent. A request that comes from needs in different areas such as academic, family, social or a combination of all. Based on the above, the following works by residents of the Master's Degree in Child Psychotherapy of the Faculty of Psychology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will be presented. They were conducted in two training scenarios; one located in Mexico City: The Community Center "Dr. Julián Mac Gregor and Sánchez Navarro", and the Center for Psychological Services "Dr. Guillermo Dávila".
