Terapia cognitivo-conductual en la intervención de la autoestima en adolescentes y adultos: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project addresses the self-esteem difficulties observed in adolescents and young adults during practical experience in the educational field. It was evident that this variable affected all areas of functioning, such as academic performance, interpersonal relationships, and general well-being. Therefore, based on this problem, a systematic review of scientific literature was developed with the objective of determining the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in treating self-esteem in adolescents and young adults. The results obtained from the review demonstrated that CBT is highly effective in treating self-esteem, and thanks to these findings, a clinical case was designed for an adolescent diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, which is linked to self-esteem challenges. The case includes personal data, reason for consultation, evaluation process, and a proposed intervention based on the cognitive-behavioral approach. This work unites theory with professional practice, supported by scientific evidence, which allows for the development of a clinical and ethical approach.
