Several studies have evaluated emotional facial recognition in people with neurological disorders and psychiatric illnesses. However, few behavioral rehabilitation programs in social skills include training in emotional facial recognition and reproduction. The objective of the present investigation was to develop a pilot brief intervention in recognition and emotional facial reproduction and its deactivation through relaxation, to evaluate its biopsychosocial effects. A pre - post-treatment design was used ( N = 22 healthy adults). The results have shown an effect on the decrease of the respiratory rate ( p <. 001) and the inflammatory response associated with stress ( p < .05), as well as a decrease ( p <. 05) of the anxiety score, depression and emotional suppression; and an increase in the social support score. Its clinical utility is discussed in the context of training these skills for mental health professionals and patients with elevated inflammation.

Efectos biopsicosociales del entrenamiento en reconocimiento, reproduccion facial emocional y relajacion: un estudio piloto Resumen :. Diversos estudios han evaluado el reconocimiento facial emocional en personas con trastornos neurologicos y enfermedades psiquiatricas. Sin embargo, pocos programas de rehabilitacion conductual en habilidades sociales incluyen el entrenamiento en reconocimiento y reproduccion facial emocional. El objetivo de la presente investigacion fue desarrollar una intervencion breve piloto en reconocimiento y reproduccion facial emocional y su desactivacion mediante la relajacion, para evaluar sus efectos biopsicosociales. Se utilizo un diseno pre – post tratamiento ( N = 22 adultos sanos). Los resultados muestran un efecto sobre la disminucion de la tasa respiratoria ( p <. 001) y la respuesta inflamatoria de asociada con estres ( p < .05), asi como un decremento ( p < .05) del puntaje de ansiedad, depresion y supresion emocional; y un incremento en el puntaje de apoyo social. Su utilidad clinica se discute en el contexto de entrenar estas habilidades para los profesionales en salud mental y en pacientes con inflamacion elevada. Palabras Clave: Expresion-facial-emocional; il-6, apoyo-social; supresion-emocional; depresion; ansiedad; relajacion.
