Terapia cognitivo conductual para el tratamiento de los trastornos de conducta alimentaria en adolescentes.

Abstract

Cognitive behavioral therapy CBT in adolescent patients with eating disorder ED has been developed primarily in cases with bulimia nervosa BN and anorexia nervosa AN. The results in this area show how CBT is very useful to achieve a reduction in bulimic symptoms such as binge eating and vomiting and the normalization of an irregularity in eating habits, both in quantity and frequency. CBT is based on the assumption that an individual's effects and behavior are largely determined by how they structure the world based on previous experiences. The intervention seeks to provide patients with a more realistic and adaptive way of thinking and acting. Chronologically, an adolescent is someone between the ages of 10 and 19. For the development of this research, a bibliographical analysis of Anorexia and Bulimia was carried out, as well as the compilation of effective techniques for an adequate treatment.
