The present Master’s degree thesis is made up by two studies, according to the guidelines of the Post Graduate Program in Psychology of PUCRS. The first study is a revision of the literature entitled Adoption and Complaints in Psychoanalytical Psychology of Children: revision of the literature, that aimed at: 1) examining studies that approach the relation between adoption and complaints presented by the adopted children, 2) analyzing factors that may eventually harm to the adoption process and, consequently, in the complaints presented by the adopted children, 3) reflecting upon aspects that may contribute with the prevention of problems in the adoption cases. For this study, searches in the Bvs, Webofscience, Lilacs e SciELO databases were carried out based on the descriptors adoption, psychotherapy, child(ren), to check on studies on these theme having been found forty occurrences. Out of these, only seven are related directly with the focus of the study in question, that is, the adopted children, being it thus necessary, to enhance the search to the theme adoption in a general sense, searching, besides articles, books and book chapters, even by doing a manual search in university libraries (PUCRS and UFRGS). It was found that the majority of studies related to the theme of adoption approaches social issues. The research works designed to discuss the relation of adoption to the complaints presented by the adopted children, seeking psychotherapeutic assistance, however, prove to be contradictory in relation to those non adopted, and difficult to generalize, since there are numberless variables in this process.The second study – Is there a difference in the complaints presented by the adopted children and the non adopted children at the time they seek psychotherapeutic assistance? – aimed at identifying the complaints brought by the adopted children to the psychotherapeutic treatment checking whether these complaints differ from the complaints made by the non adopted children. In this respect, the complaints of the adopted children who sought psychological assistance in two schoolclinics in, having been examined the sociodemographic variables (age, gender, family arrangement, school degree, age of adoption) and clinical variables (source of complaint forwarding). It was sought to examine the relation between the complaints and whether the child was or not adopted and, still, the relation between the complaints and the age of adoption. The results show that there are no significant differences, from the statistical point of view, between the referred complaints by the adopted children and the non adopted ones (χ2 = 11. 890; df = 8; p = 0. 156), as well as the relation of complaints and the age of adoption (x² = 13. 563; df= 24; p = 0. 956). Such results are discussed in the light of the literature on adoption with a psychoanalytical focus. Learning about the complaints presented by the adopted children allows to improve the service delivered by school-clinics and the implementation of prevention projects.
