Abstract
El análisis de casos derivado de la práctica
clínica contribuye al avance de intervenciones
eficaces, especialmente, cuando se exponen
casos complejos y las dificultades que surgen en
su tratamiento. Con este objetivo, se presenta
el caso de un varón de 26 años con problemas
de ansiedad y obsesiones que interfieren
significativamente en su funcionamiento diario.
Se enfatiza el empleo del análisis funcional como
elemento clave en la toma de decisiones sobre
el plan de intervención e indispensable para
garantizar el éxito en aquellos casos complejos. Se
expone la intervención realizada centrándose en
el tratamiento de los problemas más interferentes:
la conducta de andar y hablar solo durante largos
períodos temporales y las comprobaciones
sociales. Los resultados muestran una reducción
de las principales conductas problema a través
de diferentes indicadores de cambio clínico:
autorregistros, puntuaciones en inventario
sobre obsesiones, consumo de psicofármacos
e informe verbal del cliente. Se discuten los
principales factores que contribuyeron al éxito
del tratamiento y se ponen de manifiesto las
limitaciones que conlleva un estudio de caso
