Intervención cognitivo- conductual en un paciente con trastorno por comportamiento sexual compulsivo según la CIE-11

Abstract

Abstract: The present case details the process of psychotherapeutic intervention, under a cognitive behavioral approach, in a 21-year-old young adult with a diagnosis of compulsive sexual behavior disorder, according to the ICD-11 manual. In the first sessions, the respective evaluation process was carried out through the use of the interview, clinical observation and application of psychological reagents, such as: Seapsi Personality Questionnaire, Family Apgar, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and the Inventory of Negative Attitudes towards Masturbation. Subsequently, a 10-session intervention plan was developed, with the aim of reducing compulsive behaviors associated with pornography viewing and masturbation which generated clinically significant discomfort both intra- and interpersonally. The pre- and post-treatment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment plan, since a decrease in compulsive and anxious symptoms, negative attitudes towards masturbation and a greater success in interpersonal relationships can be evidenced.
