Resumen
[ES] La adolescencia es la etapa con mayor incidencia en problemas de salud mental, el 75% de jóvenes presentan comorbilidad y menos del 20% reciben un tratamiento adecuado. El objetivo del presente estudio es exponer un análisis de un caso de una chica de 14 años que cursaba 3º de ESO y que evidenciaba factores de riesgo y baja resiliencia tras recibir una intervención transdiagnóstica basada en la evidencia y en el marco de la prevención selectiva. La intervención consistió en la aplicación y adaptación en grupo del Protocolo Unificado para el tratamiento transdiagnóstico de los trastornos emocionales en adolescentes (UP-A), elaborado por Ehrenreich-May y cols. (2012), en 8 sesiones y desde una intervención preventiva selectiva. La evaluación se llevó a cabo a través de diversos cuestionarios para medir los cambios antes y después de la intervención. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto la efectividad del tratamiento a corto plazo. No obstante, sería recomendable realizar un seguimiento a largo plazo en futuras investigaciones para constatar los cambios percibidos.

The aim of this study is to report an analysis of a case of a 14-year-old girl in 3rd year of ESO who showed risk factors and low resilience after receiving an evidence-based transdiagnostic intervention within the framework of selective prevention. The intervention consisted of the application and group adaptation of the Unified Protocol for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders in adolescents (UP-A), developed by Ehrenreich-May et al. (2012), in 8 sessions and from a selective preventive intervention. The evaluation was carried out through various questionnaires to measure changes before and after the intervention. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the treatment in the short term. However, it would be advisable to carry out a long-term follow-up in future research to confirm the perceived changes.
