BEHAVIORAL

Personality Factor Battery Test (PFB Test)

Psychological instrument built for personality evaluation from the model of the Five Great Factors (FGF), that includes the following dimensions: Neuroticism, Extroversion, Socialization, Effort / Commitment), focusing on the component of the aspects of Neuroticism.

BEHAVIORAL

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

It is a psychotherapeutic approach effective on treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is an intervention that allows the desensitization of negative emotions from traumatic experiences.This therapy modifies memories that have been processed non-adaptively and become painful and dysfunctional memories. During the procedure, the patient is encouraged to move the eyes from side to side, associating these movements with a "target" situation, previously defined at the beginning of the session. The ocular movements can be replaced by tactile or sonorous stimuli. The series of stimuli must continue until the memory of the traumatic event can be reprocessed adaptively, that is, without the emotional, negative or painful process associated with that memory.
