Parental psychological flexibility: Intervention strategies from third generation therapies

Introduction:  

Family intervention has evolved, both in objectives and in assessment and treatment systems. These advances in intervention models and methods raised the need to intervene beyond parenting styles and patterns and not to use directive intervention methods, psychoeducational methods, or expert models. Therefore, third-generation therapies are incorporated into the family context. Third-generation therapies have shifted the focus of intervention, focusing on aspects such as psychological flexibility, acceptance, contact with the present moment, and emotional regulation. These therapies continue to be validated, with encouraging results indicating their evidence. 

Workshop Objectives:  

  1. Acquire empirically validated and updated knowledge about intervention in families from contextual therapies.  
  2. Develop professional skills in the assessment process in parents and children.  
  3. Acquire the use of intervention strategies from a contextual perspective in family intervention.  

The workshop will consist of the following activities: 

  1. What is psychological flexibility? 
  2. Psychological flexibility in parenting: How does it affect child rearing? 
  3. Assessment in families from contextual therapies: functional analysis and associated variables. 
  4. Intervention strategies in parental psychological flexibility and emotional regulation through metaphors, therapeutic narratives, and exercises from Third Generation Therapy and their effectiveness.
