Intervención cognitivo conductual en un paciente de 22 años con trastorno por consumo de cannabis.

Abstract

Abstract: This study presents the approach, process and results of the application of a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic model in a young adult with cannabis dependence. This model was established on the basis of the evaluations made to the patient to determine the factors involved in his consumption. The main techniques used were psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring in order to provide relevant knowledge to the patient,orient and modify certain irrational beliefs that were considered to be determinant for a possible relapse. The results of the application of this therapeutic plan reflect the achievement of the objectives that corresponded to the cessation of consumption, management of irrational beliefs and improvement of interpersonal relationships. This work constitutes a contribution of empirical knowledge in the development and establishment of therapeutic models that guarantee the success of rehabilitation at the community level.
