[Cognitive-behavioral intervention in menopausal symptomatology: short-term effects].
For a high percentage of women, menopause is associated with an important variety of physical, psychological, and social symptoms, susceptible to treatment by means of cognitive-behavioral techniques. In the present work, 28 women followed a group intervention (eight weekly sessions, two hours each, including relaxation, cognitive techniques, exercise, and diet). Results show a significant reduction of most of the associated symptoms (physical and psychological), and an increase in quality of life in the treatment group, compared to baseline and to the control group.
