The Personal Therapist Style (PST) is a multi-dimensional construct present in the therapeutic process, and details distinct functions, which express dispositions, traits and attitudes that the therapist shows in his professional practice. The objectives of the research were: to analyze if there are differences in the PST between psychologists working with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and those working in General Clinical Psychology, and to examine the effect of the theoretical approach on PST in each workgroup. The sample of this study was made up of 64 psychotherapists divided into two groups: 32 dedicated to work in ASD and the remainder to the clinic in general. The Therapist Personal Style Questionnaire was used as instrument. As a result, there were significant differences in the Engagement function (p<.05), where the therapists of children with ASD obtained higher scores. On the other hand, the theoretical approach showed meaningful results on PST in both groups of therapists, in the Attentional and Expressive functions, and exclusively in autism therapists in the Operative function.Downloads
