Abstract
La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) ha
supuesto una importante revolución a la hora de conceptuar
la psicopatología. Aplicada a diversas áreas,
se busca acabar con el patrón de evitación experiencial,
que supone responder de forma literal a los eventos
privados aversivos, potenciando nuevas formas
de respuesta ante la presencia de los mismos. Se presenta
una intervención con ACT en un problema de
vigorexia. El paciente es un joven de 24 años, cuya excesiva
preocupación por su aspecto físico le ha hecho
descuidar otras facetas de su vida, al tiempo que está
poniendo en riesgo su salud. La terapia consistió en
16 sesiones de intervención en las que se trabajaron
los aspectos centrales de ACT (desesperanza creativa,
defusion, clarificación de valores, yo como contexto,
contacto con el momento presente…). Tras la intervención,
se incrementaron las acciones en dirección
a sus valores, reduciéndose la credibilidad otorgada a
la presencia del malestar
