5135.6 New alternatives in humanist and existential psychoterapy, José Luis Rodríguez
Sánchez, Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla, Mexico
The man creates the world and its attitude takes it to obtain certain answers of the same one. The
therapeutic activity must take to the person to experience a new world that is faced with a different
attitude. Different from which frightens it and frustrates. A new model that creates projects of
being, based on a new conception of the world, leaving the projects of being inherited, which
suddenly they seem immobiles. Each being must structure his new project. One that takes to
develop its potentialities to him, to feel better with himself and to establish satisfactory
interpersonal relations.

Biodanza, a form of intervention intended to further health and well-being, originated in South
American and encourages self-expression and self-management through music, dance and
interaction. Since 1998, we have been investigating the influence of a 10-session Biodanza
program on 150 subjects. Initial results from the experimental-control-group study in Argentina
and Germany reveal significant changes in psychological health and personality variables after 3
Months (Post 1). After a further 3 months without Biodanza, the effect could be seen to have
stabilized. It could be shown that regular, long-term participation in Biodanza had positive effects
on subjects’ experience and behavior.

Past literature failed to agree as to the nature of self-control as a stable individual difference and
the way to conceptualize it. We postulate that self-control consists of four distinct components:
Conscientiousness, Impulsiveness, Temptation Resistance and Procrastination. In three empirical
studies we showed that these four components are positively correlated yet distinguishable. In
Study 1 we validated the four components against other individual difference measures. Study 2
was a replication of Study 1 with a revised measurement. In Study 3 we pointed out differential
behavioral implications for each of the four components. We discuss theoretical and practical
implications.
