Intervención terapéutica psicológica para mitigar la ineficaz toma de decisiones y alto índice de dependencia emocional, de los adolescentes que asisten al Centro Talleres Escuela San Patricio TESPA (16 a 18 años), en el periodo de abril a junio del 2021

Abstract

This project is the result of the work carried out with adolescents from 16 to 18 years old who attend to the San Patricio Workshops School TESPA center, with the aim of mitigating ineffective decision-making and high rate of emotional dependence. To this end, the Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (CDE) of Lemos & Londoño (2006) and the Decision-Making and Problem-Solving Subscale of Darden, Ginter and Gazda (1996) were applied.

Additionally, an intervention was realized and took 12 sessions of face-to-face meetings in the center, in which aspects such as executive functions, decision making, and emotional dependence were worked on. It is important to mention that the methodology used in the systematization was based on the TEST-RETEST technique to compare the results of the scales before and after the intervention and thus analyze these constructs in the adolescent population. In this sense, the results obtained were systematized in three moments, first the results of the scales in the first application, then a detailed description of the sessions in the intervention and finally, the results of the second application.

The project meant an individual, community and social contribution, since it transcended to other spaces in which adolescents develop, such as the family, educational, personal, and social.
