In this paper sociodemographic and psychopathological variables in a sample of 250 battered women who were under psychological treatment have been analysed. Likewise scores of both physical (N=156) and psychological (N=94) battered women were compared. The results showed a high level of anxiety -posttraumatic stress disorder- and depression symptoms, as well as a poor adaptation to daily life activities. Differences between the two groups were not observed, in spite of a greater severity of behaviours implied in the group of physically battered women. Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.
En este trabajo se han estudiado diferentes variables sociodemográficas y psicopatológicas en una muestra de 250 víctimas de maltrato doméstico en tratamiento psicológico. Asimismo se compararon a las víctimas en función del tipo de maltrato sufrido -físico (N=156) y psicológico (N=94)- en todas las variables estudiadas. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la existencia de repercusiones psicopatológicas importantes en el ámbito de la ansiedad -el trastorno de estrés postraumático especialmente- y de la depresión y en el funcionamiento en la vida diaria, sin que haya diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos a pesar de la mayor gravedad de las conductas implicadas en el grupo del maltrato físico. Se comentan las implicaciones de este estudio para la práctica clínica y para las investigaciones futuras.
