Abstract
La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT)
busca promover la flexibilidad psicológica y potenciar
un comportamiento acorde a valores. A través
del caso de una persona con dificultades relacionadas
con la identidad sexual y expresión de género
se muestran algunos elementos clave en el uso de
ACT para facilitar la autoafirmación proporcionando
un acompañamiento efectivo y humano. El cliente
de 22 años, con sexo registral masculino, recibió dieciocho
sesiones de terapia. La intervención permitió
reducir la inflexibilidad psicológica y mejorar la autocompasión,
y contribuyó a promover cambios en el
aspecto físico, sexualidad y comunicación asertiva. La
aplicación de ACT se benefició de una visión abierta,
compleja, transafirmativa y despatologizadora de la
disconformidad de género y se orientó a promover la
exploración de la identidad de género a través de la
acción, flexibilizando la relación con las etiquetas sociales.
Se discuten aspectos relevantes relacionados
con los sesgos y prejuicios del terapeuta
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is aimed at promoting psychological flexibility and enhancing values-based actions. Through this case, it is intended to exemplify how ACT facilitates self-affirmation and provides effective and human support in a client with difficulties to freely express his sexual identity. The intervention was carried out in a 22-yearold client, assigned male at birth, gender nonconforming, student, along eighteen sessions. The intervention contributed to a reduction in psychological inflexibility and improvement in self-compassion. It was also followed by changes in physical appearance, sexuality and assertiveness. The application of ACT was grounded in an open, complex, trans-affirmative and depathologizing vision of gender nonconformity. It was aimed at promoting exploration of gender identity through acting, building a more flexible relationship with social labels. Significant questions related to therapist’s bias and prejudices are discussed
