El trastorno por déficit de atención/hiperactividad (TDAH) es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo caracterizado por niveles problemáticos de inatención, desorganización y/o hiperactividad-impulsividad. Afecta diversos campos de la vida del paciente como la conducta y su desenvolvimiento social y académico. El TDAH tiene una etiología multifactorial, con implicaciones genéticas, ambientales, socioeconómicas, entre otras. Es principalmente diagnosticado en niños; sin embargo, puede permanecer hasta la edad adulta o bien, ser diagnosticado en la edad adulta por haber pasado desapercibido durante la niñez. Existe la posibilidad de que los síntomas sean compensados ​​al llegar a la adultez y no producir dificultades, pero cuando hay alteraciones ambientales o comorbilidades, pueden ser evidentes, principalmente cuando se enfrenta a estrés escolar, laboral o social dado por las cargas de trabajo que la universidad o trabajo exigente.

Introduction: Test anxiety is a multidimensional construct, defined as a set of phenomenological, physiological and behavioralresponses associated with cognitive processes linked to excessive concern about possible negative consequences in an evaluative situation. In university students, it presents occurrence rates between 10 % and 40 %. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to evaluate the usefulness of a group and online workshop for managing this problem based on the Unified Protocol.

Methods: A total of 31 Argentinian students aged 18 to 35 years (M=25; SD=5.24) participated in the study, from which 93.5 % were women. They were evaluated with pre, post and follow-up measures in symptomatology associated with test anxiety (GTAI-AR), emotional regulation strategies (ERQ) and mindfulness (MAAS). The Wilcoxon test corroborated intragroup differences, and Hedge's g was calculated to measure effect size (ES).

Results: Regarding the primary variable, the differences were significant with moderate & large ES, which were maintained between the three measures applied. Respecting the secondary variables, in the pre-post measures, only cognitive reappraisal reflected significant ES (small).; in the post-follow-up, expressive suppression was the onlydimension that showed meaningful ES (moderate), and in the pre-follow-up, it was found that only mindfulness showed considerable ES (small).

Discussion: The results are consistent with the Unified Protocol framework and current research on its application.

Conclusions: These results are expected to be helpful for the design of similar interventions. Although the results were encouraging, more rigorous research is needed to study their efficacy.

Starting from an apocryphal quote by Sigmund Freud about work and mental health, we carry out a historical investigation that leads from the creation of the first convents in the 4th century AD, to the works of the German psychiatrist Hubertus Tellenbach. Curiously, following this common thread, we find the notion of form-of-life that the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben exploits in his work on monasticism, and above all, and in an unexpected way, the central work of the German sociologist Max Weber The Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism that brings together religion and economic success at a high subjective cost. Focused in this way, they raise a figure of great frequency in the most contemporary clinic: the melancholic type of Tellenbach as one of the faces of the spirit of our time.
