Abstract

Abstract: This systematization work describes the evaluation and psychotherapeutic intervention performed on a 57-year-old adult patient, diagnosed with generalized anxiety. Initially, the evaluation process was carried out using psychological tools such as clinical interview, clinical observation and the application of psychological reagents, among including the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire), the STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Salamanca Questionnaire for the Screening for personality disorders. This evaluation allowed us to develop a plan psychotherapeutic with objectives aimed at reducing anxious symptoms, both somatic as well as psychic, and to develop skills for conflict resolution. For achieve them, an integrative model was used that included techniques such as psychoeducation, breathing and relaxation exercises, cognitive restructuring, training in problem solving and role-playing. The results obtained in the application of post-treatment tests were favorable, demonstrating the effectiveness of the model used.
