FDEZ-ZUNIGA MARCOS DE LEON, Alicia y COGOLLUDO NUNEZ, Ana. Clinical case: assessment and intervention in a case of separation anxiety in an adopted child. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.3, pp.235-245. ISSN 2174-0550. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/cl2012a15.
In this study, the case of a 3 year-old girl adopted from Nepal is reported. The child had been suffering separation anxiety and attachment problems, especially over the previous year. These difficulties were interfering negatively in the family dynamics. A diagnosis is made of the child´s difficulties through a clinical interview, observation instruments and conduct standardized testing. Observation instruments were used in sessions with the parents, as were records of behavioral response from the adoptive parents in relation to the child´s behavioral problems. The intervention was based on parent management training with the girl, with operant techniques and from an emotional development and attachment perspective. It describes the evolution of the problem and the case follow-up.
