This article describes the state of psychotherapy research in Latin America, a developing region, by means of its scientific production as reflected in international and Latin American publications, as well as through a survey and in-depth interviews with clinicians and researchers from the region. The Latin American publication rate is still low in international journals, which stands in contrast with the high level of publication within the region. The survey reveals an interest in research as well as a limited use of research in clinical practice, while exposing the difficulties of researching and publishing. The in-depth interviews, which cover most of the region, specify Latin America's shortcomings and obstacles to researching, as well as its facilitating factors and comparative advantages. The results are discussed within the framework of the colonizer-colonized relationship, Latin American identity, and the creative integration of developed and developing regions.
本文描述了拉丁美洲（一个发展中地区）的心理治疗研究状况，其依据是国际和拉丁美洲出版物中反映的科学成果，以及对该地区临床医生和研究人员的调查和深入访谈。拉丁美洲在国际期刊上的出版率仍然很低，与该地区的高出版率形成鲜明对比。调查显示，人们对研究感兴趣，但在临床实践中对研究的应用有限，同时也揭示了研究和出版的困难。深入访谈涵盖了该地区的大部分地区，具体说明了拉丁美洲在研究方面的不足和障碍，以及促进研究的因素和比较优势。结果在殖民者-被殖民者关系、拉丁美洲身份以及发达和发展中地区的创造性融合的框架内进行了讨论。
