Eficacia de la terapia familiar en adolescentes con problemas de alcohol

Abstract

Abstract:This curricular integration project focuses on the effectiveness of systemic family therapy in addressing alcohol consumption in adolescents, a recurring theme in clinical psychology practice. This experience sparked interest in studying the research question of the efficacy of family therapy in this context. Subsequently, a systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy, demonstrating its efficacy in reducing the frequency of alcohol consumption in adolescents, due to its inclusion of both individual and group therapy. Based on this evidence, a simulated clinical case of an adolescent with alcohol consumption was constructed, including identification data, reason for consultation, psychological evaluation, and an intervention proposal tailored to the needs of the adolescent and their family members. This work demonstrates how theory and professional practice can be combined with scientific evidence to offer an ethical, rigorous, and well-founded clinical approach to addressing alcohol consumption in adolescents.
