Resumen

The confinement derived from the health contingency due to COVID 19 has brought with it an increase in psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety and insomnia. Despite the existence of action guidelines for each of the conditions, the presence of constant environmental factors does not allow a convenient evaluation and intervention. That is why this article aims to provide guidelines for evaluation and action from an ideographic perspective. The cognitive-behavioral techniques with more evidence are analyzed and a guide to evaluation instruments adapted to the Mexican context is provided. Finally, the emphasis is placed on the importance of individual analysis in the context of confinement for the adequate choice of intervention techniques.
