However in areas such as depression, anxiety and personality disorder, where methodological research has been done, psychodynamic therapy has been as effective as other modalities of therapy. The emerged evidence based practice for children and young people treatment for depression led the psychodynamic treatment being recognized as evidence based treatment in the NICE guidelines. Focusing in EBP for the effectiveness of Psychodynamic psychotherapy as a treatment for children and adolescents could potentially help to develop new approaches for the psychodynamic modality, for example, a more effective approach for the use of psychodynamic therapy for children with
