POBLETE, Catalina Luz Pizarro  and  SOTO, Adriana Elizabeth Espinoza. Treatments Based on Mindfulness in the Child-Youth Population with Anxious Symptomatology. A Systematic Review. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.2, pp.123-142.  Epub Aug 01, 2020. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v10.n2.8.

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of treatments based on Mindfulness in childhood and adolescent population with anxious symptomatology and/or anxiety disorder through a systematic review of the available literature in various databases between January 2007 to March 2017. In the search we found a significant increase in publications that address the subject of Mindfulness. However, in the child and adolescent population with anxious symptomatology and/or anxiety disorder, a number of reduced investigations were found. Finding two systematic reviews, four narrative reviews and five clinical trials. The small number of publications on this subject makes it difficult to measure the effect on Mindfulness treatment in this population with anxious symptomatology and/or anxiety disorder. More controlled clinical trials are required in order to establish its relevance as a therapeutic tool for the reduction of anxiety with the child and adolescent population.

Keywords : Mindfulness; anxious symptomatology; anxiety disorder; childhood and adolescent population.
