Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an evidence-based system to recommend core interventions, before the beginning of treatment, to psychotherapists treating low-income patients with depressive or anxiety disorders.
The research work proposes an exposure treatment through a virtual therapeutic assistant called Thera, that interacts verbally with the patient, to guide and control exposure therapies for phobias to small animals delivered through several channels at the same time that it analyzes the Physiological records of the patient in real-time to determine their emotional state during the intervention. In this study it is proposed to evaluate the efficacy of a self-applied treatment where the virtual assistant allows to gradually guide an exposure treatment for rat phobias, taking advantage of intelligent devices for patient monitoring and being considered to determine the progress of the treatment.
Women in their 3rd trimester, represent a unique segment of the tokophobic population. In these cases help is needed within a very short and limited period of time. To date, no specific treatment targets this population in order to ameliorate the anxiety and to provide these women and their newborns with better obstetric and psychiatric outcomes. The present study investigates an accessible individual two session intervention conducted by midwives skilled in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) . This intervention is designed to enable stronger emotional regulation and increase of their capacity to accept unexpected changes during labor and feelings of control. The investigators expect this psychological adjustment to lead to a better course of delivery, less interventions including caesarian sections, and subjective birth experience.
