This study is aimed to gather information about the relationship between theoretical models and the perception and appraisal that psychologists make about psychotherapy in Argentina, and to analyze some of the involved variables. 226 psychologists from several regions of the country participated in the survey; the instrument, conformed by 14 items, was send by electronic mail and, in a few cases, it was given personally. Results suggest that, in Argentina, psychoanalysis is the prevalent model; in second place are those psychologists who ascribe to eclectic or integrative models. The adoption of one or another psychotherapy model is associated with beliefs, expectations and appraisals that psychologists make about the use of techniques that belong to different approaches, agreement about the existence of more effective models, opinions about factors involved in patients effective change, acceptance of possible bias in the evaluation of other theoretical approaches and criticism about the own model.
