Abstract
A pesar de que el terrorismo afecta cada año a millones de personas en todo el mundo e impacta negativamente en todas las áreas importantes de sus vidas, incluida el área de sus relaciones de pareja, no se han publicado tratamientos específicos de terapia de pareja para esta población. La investigación del tratamiento de estas víctimas debe ampliarse no solo a las repercusiones psicopatológicas individuales del terrorismo, si no, por ejemplo, a los problemas de relación de pareja. Estos, además, pueden estar asociados a la existencia de problemas de salud mental que presentan las víctimas con una prevalencia relativamente más alta que en la población general, existiendo relaciones bidireccionales al respecto. Los problemas de relación de pareja tienen la relevancia clínica suficiente para que se conviertan en objeto de estudio de la psicología, dado su conocido impacto en la salud física y mental de los adultos que los padecen y en su descendencia. OBJETIVO GENERAL Se planteó como objetivo general de esta tesis doctoral el proponer un tratamiento psicológico breve para los problemas de pareja de las víctimas de terrorismo, en concreto, en hacer una adaptación para las víctimas del terrorismo de la terapia cognitivo-conductual conjunta (TCC-C) para el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) de Monson y Fredman (2012), y realizar un análisis preliminar de su efectividad. MÉTODO Para realizar la investigación empírica de esta tesis doctoral, se seleccionó una muestra de 17 parejas que mostraban problemas de pareja y en las cuales alguno de sus miembros era una víctima del terrorismo. Todas ellas recibieron un programa de tratamiento de parejas, aunque solo 13 parejas concluyeron el mismo. Los pacientes recibieron una media de 10 sesiones de una hora y media de duración con una frecuencia quincenal...
Although terrorism affects millions of people every year around the world and has a negative impact on all important areas of their lives, including the area of their relationships, no specific couples therapy treatments have been published for this population. The investigation of the treatment of these victims should be extended not only to the individual psychopathological repercussions of terrorism but, for example, to problems of relationship. These can also be associated with the existence of mental health problems presented by victims with a relatively higher prevalence than in the general population, with two-way relationships in this regard. The problems of couple relationship have sufficient clinical relevance to become an object of study of psychology, given its known impact on the physical and mental health of adults and their offspring. GENERAL OBJECTIVE It was proposed as a general objective of this doctoral thesis to propose a brief psychological treatment for the couple problems of the victims of terrorism, in particular, to make an adaptation for the victims of terrorism of the cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy (CBConT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by Monson and Fredman (2012), and to perform a preliminary analysis of its effectiveness. METHOD In order to carry out the empirical investigation of this doctoral thesis, a sample of 17 couples that showed couple problems and in which one of its members was a victim of terrorism was selected. All of them received a couples treatment program, but there were 4 drop-outs. At the end, only 13 couples concluded the treatment...
