Abstract

Abstract: The study entitled: "Intervention from the cognitive-behavioral approach in a 20-year-old patient with cannabis use disorder" shows the case of X.N. He came for consultation after a court order was imposed on him to receive psychological treatment for problems due to marijuana use. Several instruments were applied such as CAST, SDS, AUDIT, ASSIST V.30, MoCa, as well as an observation sheet, and finally, the criteria of the DSM-V manual were taken into account. X.N. was diagnosed with a cannabis consumption disorder, for which a psychotherapeutic plan was designed under the cognitive-behavioral approach with the aim of reducing the frequency of consumption, improving interpersonal relationships, increasing his social competence, and providing training in mental functions. At the end of the cognitive behavioral treatment, X.N. considerably decreased the frequency of consumption, improved her interpersonal relationships, especially with her mother, and increased her social competencies.
