Intervención psicológica utilizando el modelo de coaching motivacional “La Jirafa de Cantón” en el caso de una guitarrista aficionada

Abstract

We present here a case study psychological intervention; using a methodological triangulation, that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis. The subject was a 20-year-old student girl who wants to resume efficiently playing the guitar by investing the necessary time, combining it appropriately with her other activities. The motivational coaching model “Cantón’s Giraffe” (using a protocol specially designed for this model), and the Ryff Psychological Wellbeing questionnaires and the Rosenberg Self-esteem questionnaire are used as a basis for psychological intervention, as well as qualitative analysis to evaluate the process and the completion of the intervention. The results show an improvement in the scores of self-esteem, with some improvements in some dimensions of psychological well-being, but not in others, which even had some deterioration (probably due to a difficult family situation) and a significant improvement in motivation in relation to the objective raised. These results are in line with the efficacy of other similar studies.
