Abstract

In the present article we present a the case of a 45year old woman with a diagnosis of amaxophobia and depressive symptoms. The treatment consisted of 18 sessions of an hour of duration with a weekly periodicity. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with a Mindfulness component were applied. The results showed a reduction of anxiety and depressive symptoms. In addition, there was an improvement in their mindfulness and their sense of personal competence. Finally, we discuss the results obtained and reflect on the multi-component program.
