RESUMEN SIMPOSIO Basic processes and intervention in mental health An important challenge in research in clinical psychology and mental health is to relate the study of basic psychological processes to effective interventions to alleviate human suffering. In this symposium, we will start with two experimental talks, the first about attentional bias to slim bodies showed by female participants with body dissatisfaction, and the second on memory processing of traumatic events in different modalities. The third presentation will consider the development of methodologies to assess mental health among immigrants in Sweden. The final two presentations will focus on the designing and testing of psychological interventions. First, regarding distress related to traumatic experiences, and the last will present a recovery program for burnout patients. |
