“…Understanding coping mechanisms and styles behind stress management can help us to better support individuals with ASC there, where skills, resources and access may be scarce. Recently adapted cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) approaches have been used for the benefit of high-functioning individuals with ASC and preliminary results show promising outcomes especially with symptoms of depression and anxiety (Weiss & Lunsky, 2010 seem to be effective with high functioning adolescents with ASCs through the teaching of meditative breathing skills (Singh et al, 2011).…”

The aim of this paper is to present an understanding of the coping mechanisms and coping styles adopted by individuals on the Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) by looking to draw parallels with sports performance psychology and how different sources of stress and anxiety can lead to the adoption of different coping styles. Firstly, an overview of current understanding of what constitute a stressor and how this can affect an individual is presented from sport and exercise psychology literature. Secondly, a model of coping styles is illustrated with the aim to shed light at how different perceptions of levels of stress and anxiety are managed both on an individual and group level. Thirdly, within the context of this understanding, some examples about how to support individuals on the ASC will be illustrated. Finally, implications for future research and reflection will be presented by highlighting the importance of teaching and learning coping and tolerance skills as part of a comprehensive and holistic psycho-educational program.

The use of mindfulness interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a relatively new research area, which has followed a more established body of research investigating the efficacy of mindfulness interventions for parents of children with ASD. Given the chronic stress levels experienced by parents and high anxiety and stress levels in individuals with ASD, such research is well justified. The utility of mindfulness in clinical practice for individuals with ASD and their parents will be discussed. This chapter aims to evaluate the research literature, identify important limitations, and propose crucial directions for future research. Acknowledgment of the impact of attitudes, social bias, and a generational shift that may be accelerating the salience of mindfulness is discussed. The author aims to emphasize the importance of high-quality future research with robust methodological designs to clearly identify the potential role for mindfulness in this population. Despite having a solid foundation of preliminary findings, it is important that researchers refine current procedures and evaluation of mindfulness interventions for individuals with ASD and their parents while carefully selecting measures that are not solely self-report or parent report.

“…También se ha probado su eficacia en la disminución de los niveles de agresividad en una muestra de estudiantes en riesgo de exclusión social y de adolescentes con Asperger (Singh et al, 2007;Singh et al, 2011). Bögels, Hoogstad, Dun, Schutter y Restifo (2008) encontraron, por otro lado, que la meditación mindfulness ayudaba a mejorar las metas personales, las preocupaciones internas y externas, los problemas de atención, el nivel de felicidad y la conciencia mindfulness en adolescentes con trastornos externalizantes como el déficit atencional, oposicionista-desafiante y del espectro autista.…”

RESUMEN:El consumo problemático de alcohol en jóvenes se ha asociado con graves consecuencias sociales, de salud y económicas, generando enormes costos para los sistemas de la salud. Diversos estudios muestran que cuanto más temprano comienza el uso de sustancias, mayor es la probabilidad de desarrollar un trastorno de consumo de sustancias en la adultez. Sin embargo, esta relación se encuentra mediada por diversos factores de riesgo tanto contextuales (p.ej., historia de alcoholismo familiar) como individuales (p.ej., descontrol de impulsos). Los programas de prevención van dirigidos fundamentalmente a tratar de disminuir el consumo problemático y los daños de un consumo existente. Entre las aproximaciones psicológicas que mayor desarrollo han tenido en los últimos años se encuentran las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness (MBI) o también denominadas terapias-cognitivo conductuales de tercera generación. Recientemente las MBI se han utilizado en el tratamiento de la dependencia de sustancias. No obstante, son escasos los estudios que analizan el rol que mindfulness puede desempeñar a nivel de prevención sobre los factores asociados a un consumo de alcohol de riesgo y de los problemas asociados con este consumo en adolescentes. Palabras clave: mindfulness, consumo de alcohol, adolescencia, prevención, salud mental. Risk factors associated with problematic alcohol use in adolescence:The preventive role of mindfulness ABSTRACT: Problematic alcohol consumption in youth is known to be related to social, health and financial problems, generating huge costs for the public health system. A number of studies describe early onset of drinking as being associated with an increased risk for developing alcohol dependence. However, this relationship is mediated by contextual (e.g. family history of alcoholism) and individual (e.g. problems of impulse control) risk factors. Therefore, prevention programs aim to reduce both problematic drinking and detriments of existing consumption. One of the most developed psychological approaches in recent years is mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), also termed a part of third wave cognitive behavioral therapies. Recently, MBIs were applied in the treatment of substance dependence. Nevertheless, there are only a few studies *Correspondencia: Instituto Milenio para la Investigación en Depresión y Personalidad (MIDAP),
