GARCIA-PARDO, Araceli. Development of emotional stability in dual pathology: a proposal for brief intervention. []. , 29, 3, pp.133-137.   02--2020. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2018a19.

The objective of the study was to achieve an emotional balance by learning the management and regulation of emotions in patients with dual pathology. The methodology was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). The total sample consisted of 27 voluntary participants divided into two groups: treatment (n = 21) and control (n = 6). Qualitative data were obtained through the Interview by Objectives, the Test of the Eyes and a final ad hoc survey. Regarding qualitative results, the treatment group improved in emotional regulation, achieving abstinence and therapeutic discharge. In quantitative terms, emotional deregulation (DERS) was evaluated at transversal and longitudinal levels. The results, when comparing the groups in the post-test, showed significant differences in favor of the treatment group in the dimension of inattention. At the longitudinal level, a difference was detected in the treatment group in the post-test with respect to the pre-test in the dimensions of inattention and uncontrol, and no difference was found in the control group. The conclusion of the study indicates the improvement of comprehension of emotions together with an adequate coping of negative experiences on the part of participants in the treatment group.
