RESUMEN
Se analiza cómo se aproximan a la depresión infantil, psicólogos clínicos que trabajan en Salud Pública en la Región Metropolitana. Chile. Es un estudio descriptivo, de diseño no experimental, transversal y de muestra intencionada. Participan 19 psicólogos de Centros Comunitarios de Salud Mental y Familiar. Se recaba la información a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, las cuales se analizan mediante la técnica de Análisis de Contenido. Los resultados señalan que a.- Los psicólogos tienen una comprensión teórica parcial del fenómeno, b.- Relacionan el trastorno fundamentalmente con disfunciones familiares y contextos poco contenedores, haciendo poca alusión a etiología biológica, c- Realizan el tratamiento principalmente de manera individual, con inclusión ocasional de la familia. Se discute el fortalecimiento de la aproximación realizada por los profesionales.
ABSTRACT
The research analyzes how clinical psychologists working for the Public Health Service, Región Metropolitana, Chile, approach childhood depression. It is a descriptive research, of non-experimental cross-sectional design and with a delibérate sarnple. 19 psychologists of Centros Comunitarios de Salud Mental y Familiar (Community Centers for Mental and Family Health) took part in the research. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed by means of the Content Analysis technique. The results show that these psychologists have a partial theoretical understanding of the phenomenon. They relate this disorder mainly to family dysfunctions and not very containing contexts, making little mention of biological etiology. They mostly give treatment on an individual basis, including the family occasionally. The strengthening of these professional's approach is discussed.
