Abstract
Presentamos en este trabajo el resultado obtenido mediante
la aplicación de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso a un
paciente que presenta consumo Intranasal abusivo de coca{na,
reinterpretando la dependencia de cocaína como Trastomo de
Evitación Experiencial (TEE). El tratamiento constó de 12
sesiones semanales de una hora, además de dos sesiones de
revisión a los tres y seis meses.
En las sesiones, emplazamos al paciente con el compromiso
de participar y realizar la terapia, al menos hasta la sesión
número siete. Como se trata de un trabajo multidisciplinar, se
hicieron las correspondientes mediciones dentro del ámbito
fisiológico que no han sido tenidas en cuenta para este trabajo,
debido a que no hubo necesidad de administrar ningún fánnaco.
As{ mismo, realizamos semanalmente controles de orina para
verificar la abstinencia a sustancias.
El trabajo, llevado a cabo en un contexto sanitario, hacía
necesaria por otro lado la utilización de cuestionarios
estandarizados, que se utilizaron al principio de la intervención y al final, pero no eran los cambios en los resultados de estos
los que guiaron la intervención.
Los resultados muestran que tras la aplicación de la
intervención se produce un abandono del consumo de cocaína
y otras sustancias por parte del paciente y una mejora importante
de otros aspectos que se trabajaron en sesión y que no estaban
relacionados directamente con la conducta problema que llevó
al paciente a la consulta.
Results of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the treatment of intranasal cocaine use are presented in a single case study and cocaine use Is reformulated as an Experiential Avoidance Disorder. Treatment consisted of twelve weekly one hour sessions; in addition two follow-up sessions were carried out, three and six months later. Client was commited for, at least, seven treatment sessions. Because this is a multidisciplinary intervention, physiological measurements were taken, but they have not been taken ínto consideration for this study, due to there was no need of providíng any medicine. In this way, we carried out urine test weekly to verify the withdrawal trom substances. Intervention was carried out in a health-care context, so stardardized questlonnaires were adminístered before and after treatment, although the changes in the responses to the questionnaires were not those whích led the intervention. Results show that once the íntervention is carried out, a withdrawl in cocaíne and other substances consumption is observed. In addition, other issues, not directly related to the cocaine use, were ímproved when worked in sessíon.
