Estrategias terapéuticas efectivas para reducir el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes: revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica.

Abstract

Abstract: This curriculum integration project addresses the problem of adolescent alcohol use, identified during practical experiences in the field of clinical psychology. Based on this observation, a research question was posed and a comprehensive review of the scientific literature was conducted to identify the most effective therapeutic interventions for addressing adolescent alcohol use. The findings highlighted the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, both individual and group, due to its ability to reduce symptoms and enhance coping skills. Based on this evidence, a simulated clinical case of an adolescent with alcohol use problems was constructed. This case included identification data, the reason for the consultation, a psychological evaluation, and an intervention proposal tailored to the patient's needs. The selected strategies met criteria of clinical effectiveness and contextual relevance. This project allowed for the integration of theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, promoting an ethical, rigorous, and well-founded clinical approach to the care of adolescents with substance use problems.
