Resumen

Se realizó un ensayo clínico aleatorio con dos grupos de tratamiento: uno que recibió terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) y otro con la inclusión de técnicas emocionales (TCCE), ambos de 20 sesiones.  La muestra consistió en 237 pacientes, todos ellos con diagnóstico principal de trastornos de ansiedad, y todos remitidos por sus médicos de cabecera. Hubo mejoras significativas en la sintomatología (rasgo de ansiedad, depresión, sintomatología clínica), pero la única diferencia significativa encontrada en la comparación intergrupal fue para la variable "satisfacción vital subjetiva" (p=0.017), que fue mayor en el grupo de TCCE. Este grupo también mostró una mayor adherencia al programa de tratamiento (p=0.019). Esto refuerza la conveniencia de incluir el tratamiento de terapia de grupo con componentes emocionales en los entornos de atención primaria, destacando la importancia de hacer hincapié en la autoestima.
