Intervención desde el enfoque cognitivo conductual en un paciente de 49 años con trastorno por consumo de alcohol

Abstract

Abstract: This single case study details the therapeutic approach of a patient with hostile behaviors, especially towards his partner, emotional regulation difficulties, with consequences in the social, family, work and interpersonal spheres. Initially, the patient was willing to make a change on consumption to improve his interpersonal relationships, that is why for the therapeutic intervention a nine-session treatment plan was developed based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which includes techniques such as psychoeducation, thought restructuring, Jacobson's muscle relaxation technique, assertiveness techniques and coping strategies. However, the results of the present study contain limitations due to factors inherent to the substance use disorder, which is why the patient relapsed and thus prevented adequate follow-up.
