Los nuevos desarrollos tecnológicos aplicados al tratamiento psicológico.

Resumen

El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías ha alcanzado prácticamente a todo el desarrollo humano. En el caso de la psicología clínica, ha significado nuevos avances en el conocimiento, evaluación y tratamientos psicológicos de diferentes problemas y trastornos. En este trabajo se revisan cuatro desarrollos que han tenido una expansión importante: el uso de internet para el tratamiento psicológico, el uso de la realidad virtual, el neurofeedback y la estimulación magnética transcraneal. Se presenta brevemente cada técnica o procedimiento, su aplicación a problemas concretos, sus ventajas y sus inconvenientes. Finalmente se discute el desarrollo de estos recursos y la necesidad de seguir aportando conocimientos que vayan mejorando su eficacia y su eficiencia, de acuerdo con tipos de pacientes, patologías, procedimiento específico, así como evitar efectos indeseables.
