Traditional methods of diagnosis are of little therapeutic use when diagnostic criteria are based upon topographical rather than functional aspects of behavior. Also, this sentence in the original seemed rather awkward and a bit unclear. In contrast to this, several authors have put forward experience avoidance disorders as an alternative which takes functional criteria into account. This case study presents the analysis and treatment of an anxiety disorder following the formulation of functional analytic psychotherapy. This psychotherapy is based on a therapeutic relationship which puts particular emphasis on natural reinforcement and eventualities which occur in a clinical context, relating them to a natural context, and establishing functional equivalences. The different stages of the treatment are described and details are given of the therapeutic relationship and the monitoring of the results over a period of 18 months.

La región Valle del Mezquital, ubicada en el suroeste del Estado de Hidalgo, a pesar de estar considerada dentro del ámbito nacional como una región, deprimida, internamente presenta notables contrastes socioeconómicos. Estos contrastes se han propiciado, en parte, por la introducción de sistemas de riego en las áreas secas que, en general, han venido a constituir dentro de esta zona áreas desarrolladas o "dinámicas" que contrastan con las menos desarrolladas o "estancadas" las cuales, a pesar de contar con recursos naturales, no se han explotado debidamente; con base en ello, en este trabajo se plantean algunas posibilidades para el desarrollo de la región.
