Caso Clínico: Intervención psicoterapéutica basada en terapias de aceptación y compromiso, en un paciente con dependencia al alcohol

Abstract

Abstract: In the present clinical case, the efficacy of psychological intervention is analyzed in a patient with a mental and behavioral disorder with alcohol dependence, who is hospitalized in a Therapeutic Community with a stay of four months. During the intervention process, the barriers that may exist in patients with problematic consumption throughout the intervention are explored; as well as the risk and protection factors that occur against consumption. The approach with which the therapeutic objective was met was based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which guides the patient to the development of psychological flexibility; as well as the use of assertive communication skills to prevent possible relapses after the patient's hospitalization. Being able to identify a positive prognosis in the face of change, this manifested by the patient himself, and factors such as family support that help reduce the risk of relapse.
