Intervención psicoterapéutica con enfoque integral (cognitivo conductual y ACT) en una adulta mayor con síntomas de estrés relacionados a conflictos familiares

Abstract

Abstract: The present case study addresses the comprehensive psychotherapeutic intervention in a patient 71 years old with a diagnosis of stressful problems that affect the family and home, coded in CIE 10 as Z63.7. Initially, the patient presented high levels of stress due to family conflicts and economic difficulties. A combined approach was used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to improve your quality of life. This approach allowed the patient to identify and modify patterns of negative thinking, manage your emotions better, overcome the need to control factors beyond their control, develop a more open and flexible attitude towards interpersonal conflicts and present greater participation in rewarding activities. The Results showed a significant reduction in stress and an improvement in well-being emotional. This case highlights the effectiveness of a multidimensional approach to treatment of problems related to family stress in older adults.
