Do Transdiagnostic Interventions Work for Childhood Emotional Problems? 10 Years of Study on the SUPER SKILLS Program
In recent years, transdiagnostic interventions have emerged as a promising approach to intervene in childhood emotional problems. As a differentiating aspect of specific interventions, the transdiagnostic approach addresses the common processes or factors that underlie all emotional problems, facilitating their prevention or reduction with the same protocol. The Super Skills program, originally Anglo-Saxon, has been adapted to the Spanish school population, and various studies have been carried out to determine its effectiveness. More than 10 years of study have shown that the program is effective as an indicated prevention and treatment program. In controlled trials it has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression and other comorbid problems in children aged 6 to 12 years. Efficacy studies have been carried out with individual, group and self-administered applications in a multimedia format. The conference aims to delve into the 10-year research of the Spanish version of the program and highlight the usefulness and effectiveness of transdiagnostic interventions, as a resource of great therapeutic value for youth.
