Abstract
This chapter presents the results of the revision of scientific literature about psycho-educational and clinical approaches to reduce academic procrastination. The intervention programs are described in depth, making reference to their theoretical and conceptual bases and to their technical characteristics. The chapter includes descriptions of programs based on concepts from cognitive educational psychology, theories of motivation, time management, and self-regulated learning. Additionally, there are interventions that arise from clinical psychology based on different modalities that cognitive-behavioral therapy has adopted in in-person contexts and on intervention experiences that include the utilization of information and communications technologies (ITCs). Finally, there are interventions inspired by other approaches from psychotherapy (acceptance and commitment therapy and systemic therapy). At the end of the chapter, efficacy of the programs and issues to adaptation of intervention to other populations and cultures are discussed.
