The aim of this investigation was determined the reliability and content and predictive validity of a clinical case formulation, developed from a behavioral perspective. It was used a mixed design that integrated levels of descriptive analysis and unique case study, A-B with follow. In this study was established the reliability of follow descriptive and explanatory categories: (a) problem description, (b) predisposing, (c) precipitating, (d) acquisition and (e) inferred mechanism (maintenance), the analysis was did with cases attended between 2005 and 2008 and persons that was formulated with the model derived of the current investigation. Regard to validity, expert judges considered that the model had content validity. The predictive validity was established across application of model to three case studies. Discussion shows the importance to extend the investigation with the model in other population and determinate the interformulator and clinical validity of these.
