| Resumen: |
In this paper, a case study of «swallow» phobia in a 6 year-old girl is presented. This specific phobia consists of an extreme fear of choking. In this kind of phobia one cuts down on the intake of food and changes the way of swallowing (basic food is generally easier to be swallowed). When possible physical disorders were left out by means of medical explorations, her parents asked for help to the Service of Applied Psychology in the Faculty of Psychology (UNED). At that time the girl had lost weight gradually and had rarely eaten for 2 months. After the assessment period, a mixed psychological treatment was elaborated using cognitive and behavioural tecniques. The therapeutic goals obtained remain the same after one year follow-up. ResumenEn este artículo se presenta un caso clínico de Fobia a tragar en una niña de 6 años. Esta fobia específica consiste en un miedo extremo a atragantarse. Este tipo de fobia obliga a la paciente a restringir el consumo y tipo de alimentos.En este caso la paciente tomaba tan solo purés y líquidos, empleando en ello una gran cantidad de tiempo, con intenso malestar y esfuerzo y no de forma voluntaria. Tras descartar un posible problema físico (la realizaron una exploración gastroescópica), los padres solicitan ayuda al Servicio de Psicología Aplicada de la Facultad de Psicología de la UNED, pues la niña pierde peso gradualmente y no come apenas desde hace 2 meses. Después de la evaluación, se elaboró un programa de tratamiento incluyendo técnicas cognitivas y conductuales. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto el éxito conseguido tras 10 semanas de tratamiento. Los objetivos terapéuticos conseguidos se mantienen al año del alta de la paciente.AbstractIn this paper, a case study of «swallow» phobia in a 6 year-old girl is presented.
