LA TERAPIA COGNITIVO CONDUCTUAL EN ADULTOS QUE PADECEN TRASTORNO DE ANSIEDAD GENERALIZADA

Abstract

The present article has as objective to provide knowledge about the benefits the adults that suffer from TAG can obtain by using the cognitive conduction therapy. For this, the search was profound in the history of cognitive conduction therapy, analyzing its evolution and the different similar therapies that help for other diseases. Cognitive therapies seek to make the patient question their own thoughts in order to establish a method to modify them; unlike conduction therapy, which seeks to modify an individual’s behavior through reinforcement techniques. It is concluded that for the purposes of TAG, the results indicate that the proper technique to be utilized is cognitive conduction, as it constitutes a combination of conduction and cognitive therapies creating a more complete treatment, which constitutes the only method to treat the disease. Unlike other therapies, the TCC, has long-term benefits, which means that the patient will not display symptoms with the same degree of severity on the long run. In order to obtain the pertinent data, the qualitative comparative method was implemented, analyzing several studies worldwide, several articles were compiled through the EBSCO database, which is provided by UEES, and through Google scholar.
