In this paper we summarize some experiences with Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD-2) in the colombian context, and put into perspective other possibilities for its implementation grounded on our teaching and clinical practice. Given OPD-2 develops as a modular system for diagnosis and treatment planning, it has been used in different areas of both clinical practice and empirical research. Based on this, we have chosen different application scenarios to illustrate OPD-2'susefulness, focusing on different axes or modules of the instrument, reharding Colombia's interculturality, clinical work at the general hospital, teaching and practice integration, and OPD-2's contributions to dynamic psychology. The possibilities of OPD-2 related to each application area are discussed and gathered into a final conclusion.
