Factores de riesgo psicosociales en dos adolescentes con rasgos disóciales de la ciudad de Cali

Abstract

According to the American Psychiatric Association, dissocial behavior is defined as: “A repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others, nor the social norms or rules of age, are not respected…” (Molinuevo 2014 p.1 ) This research is carried out in order to find the relationship between behaviors with disocial features and psychosocial risk factors in two adolescents from the city of Cali. This search is used from a qualitative perspective, identifying from a case study the psychosocial risk factors in an adolescent with dissocial features. In this study 2 subjects with ages between 12 and 14 years, from different communes of the city of Cali participated, the information was collected through a series of instruments such as interviews, drawing tests and observations, resulting in the identification of the following psychosocial risk factors: Absence of the mother, separation or divorce from the parents, bullying by their classmates, places with a high degree of crime; these being the ones with the highest incidence in adolescents in our case study within their family, school, social and biological context (adolescence). Identifying these factors and their relationship with behaviors of dissocial features will allow future projects to be generated based on cognitive restructuring strategies that minimize the risks of eventual evolution towards a dissocial disorder.
