Introducción. Hoy en día nadie cuestiona la conveniencia de realizar abordajes integrales del paciente con obesidad, que incluyan la intervención psicológica. Sin embargo, aún hay retos pendientes como son el mantenimiento de la pérdida ponderal a largo plazo o el abordaje de los aspectos emocionales implicados en el bienestar de la persona. El objetivo del artículo es dar a conocer los enfoques terapéuticos que tratan de afrontar estos retos. Método. Se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica en PUBMED. La estrategia de búsqueda se realiza desde la MeSHDatabase incluyendo los conceptos “obesity” y “psychotherapy”. Resultados. La modificación de conducta (MC) y la terapia cognitivo conductual (TCC) han sido enfoques utilizados buscando el cambio de hábitos, mientras otros enfoques terapéuticos hacen más hincapié en el bienestar de los pacientes que en la gestión del peso. Conocer y complementar estos enfoques con la TCC podría mejorar considerablemente los resultados terapéuticos. Encontramos en la literatura enfoques y técnicas (mindfulness, hipnosis, biofeedback) que buscan ayudar a la persona a autorregularse emocionalmente; otras intervenciones están centradas en la imagen corporal y la autoestima (danzaterapia) y algunas publicaciones comienzan a recomendar el EMDR (Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por movimiento ocular) para personas con obesidad y estrés post-traumático. Conclusiones. Es necesario mejorar los resultados de las intervenciones psicológicas en obesidad para lograr el mantenimiento a largo plazo de la pérdida ponderal, así como el bienestar emocional de la persona. Existen enfoques prometedores y complementarios a la TCC que podrían ayudar con esto retos, aunque son necesarios más estudios sobre eficacia-efectividad.
IntroductionEmotional intelligence is defined as the ability to process, understand and manage emotions. In bipolar disorder seem to be more conserved, with less functional impairment than other severe mental disorders as schizophrenia. So far, there are few studies analyzing emotional intelligence in bipolar disorder.ObjectiveThe objective of this research is to better understand the different characteristics and the factors affecting these social-cognitive dysfunctions in bipolar disorder.AimsTo explore possible factors related to emotional intelligence in these severe mental disorders: symptoms, cognitive functioning, quality of life and psychosocial function.Material and methodsTwenty-six adults bipolar type I patients were examined using MSCEIT (the most validated test for emotional intelligence), BPRS, YMRS, HDRS, WAIS-IV, TMT and Rey Figure in order to determine the level of emotional intelligence and factors relate.ResultsBipolar patients show lack of emotional intelligence when compared with general population. Cognitive impairment and age are the principal factors related.DiscussionResults are discussed and compared with recent literature.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
IntroductionThe severe mental disorders are the subject of growing research in the area of emotional intelligence because of his relationship with psychosocial functionality loss. Despite treatment advances, patients continue to experience high levels of social, professional and personal disabilities, related to the presence of deficits in cognition. These changes are manifested in two areas: the neurocognitive and social cognition.ObjectivesTo better understand the relationship between neuro- and sociocognition in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.AimsThe aim of this research is to study the factors related to emotional intelligence, with particular interest in neurocognitive deficits.MethodsA total of 75 adult patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder type I were evaluated. The assessment protocol consisted of a questionnaire on socio-demographic and clinical-care data, and a battery of clinical and cognitive scales, including MSCEIT, WAIS-IV, TMT and Rey Figure.ResultsMSCEIT was negatively correlated with age, the severity of the clinical symptoms (BPRS, CGI-S), the TMT-A and the Test of Complex Figure, and positively with the intelligence quotient.ConclusionsThe deficits in emotional intelligence are part of a set of cognitive, social and non-social skills, which are altered in these severe mental disorders. Emotional intelligence worsens with the deterioration of cognitive functioning, executive dysfunction and severity of psychiatric disorder.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
IntroductionSevere mental disorders have deficits in different aspects of social cognition, which seem to be more pronounced in patients with schizophrenia compared to those with bipolar disorder. Emotional intelligence, defined as the ability to process, understand and manage emotions, is one of the main components of the sociocognition. Both in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been described changes in emotional intelligence, but only few studies compare both disorders.ObjectivesThe objective of this research is to increase knowledge about the differences between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.AimsTo compare emotional intelligence in patients with schizophrenia versus bipolar patients.MethodsSeventy-five adult patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were evaluate.The assessment protocol consisted of a questionnaire on socio-demographic and clinical-care data, and a battery of assessment scales (BPRS, PANSS, SCID-I-RV, YMRS, HDRS, CGI-S, EEAG, MSCEIT). Among the assessment tools of emotional intelligence, we select MSCEIT as the most validated.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23 version. After the descriptive analysis of the data, we compare the results of the scales.ResultsBoth disorders show a deterioration of emotional intelligence compared to the general population. There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of emotional intelligence between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.ConclusionSchizophrenia and bipolar disorder have deficits in emotional intelligence, while it is difficult to show differences between them. These changes in emotional intelligence are part of a set of cognitive, social and non-social skills, which are altered in these severe mental disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
