Efectividad de la terapia cognitivo conductual en la reducción de síntomas psicóticos en personas con esquizofrenia. Revisión sistemática a partir de experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract:The present work of curricular integration addresses the problem of schizophrenia, identified during the pre-professional practices carried out in a health center. From this experience, the research question focused on evaluating the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the reduction of psychotic symptoms, so a systematic review of updated scientific literature was developed. The findings showed that CBT, especially in its adapted modality for psychosis (CBTp), is effective in reducing the intensity of positive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, as well as in improving psychosocial functioning, especially when combined with pharmacological treatment. Subsequently, a simulated clinical case of a patient with chronic schizophrenia was constructed, which included a structured assessment, diagnostic formulation and an intervention plan based on CBTp. This work allowed the integration of theory, scientific evidence and professional experience, promoting an ethical and contextualized approach to the care and treatment of people with severe psychotic symptom.
