The aim of this study is to display the analysis and discussion of the application of a cognitive–behavioral treatment in a female adolescent presenting generalized anxiety disorder. The treatment included an educational phase: explanation and awareness of the problem; exposure training, relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuration, and relapse prevention that were complemented with the allocation of home tasks and a final fading training or programmed practice. The tests used were the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule (DSM IV) and the registrations designed specifically to evaluate the intensity of distress generated by worries on the different sources of worry and other related constructs. The results show that the adolescent showed significant change at post–test which was maintained during follow–up assessments. Therefore, the data support the effectiveness of this treatment in an adolescent detected among a community setting.
El objetivo de este estudio es presentar los efectos de la aplicación de un tratamiento cognitivo–conductual en una adolescente que presenta un trastorno de ansiedad generalizada. El tratamiento incluyó una fase de explicación y reconceptualización del problema, otra de entrenamiento y una tercera de desvanecimiento del entrenamiento o “práctica programada”. Las pruebas de evaluación empleadas fueron la Entrevista Semiestructurada de los Trastornos de Ansiedad del DSM–IV–C y los registros diseñados específicamente para evaluar la intensidad del malestar generado por las preocupaciones sobre las diferentes áreas fuente de preocupación y los correlatos de este trastorno. Los resultados muestran mejoras significativas entre pretest y postest que se mantuvieron en los seguimientos.
