Psihoterapia cognitiv-comportamentală în intervenţia asupra anxietăţii la copii [Articol]

Abstract

Anxiety is an emotional state of mind, often found in both children and adults. In children, the anxiety is based on their exuberant imagination and creativity. Adolescents are characterized by distinct features of the affective sphere, and bio-social conditions trigger affective disadvantages revealed by an advanced level of anxiety. Also, in this study we aim presenting a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapeutic program on a generalized anxiety. The cognitive restructuring is based on a series of cognitive and behavioral techniques: restructuring dysfunctional negative thoughts, relaxation techniques, the role play technique and guided imagery.
