Abstract

Resumen Con el objetivo de conocer el ajuste psicologico (sinto­matologia y diagnostico clinico) y las destrezas para la resolucion de problemas (afrontamiento) en una pobla­cion de homicidas, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio en el que se contrastaron ambos factores entre una muestra de condenados por homicidio o tentativa de homicidio, con la poblacion normativa. Participaron en el estudio 27 hombres internos en el Centro Penitenciario de Oporto (Portugal), con una edad promedio de 38.63 anos. Para la medida del ajuste psicologico se acudio al SCL-90-R, mientras que el afrontamiento fue evaluado mediante el CRI-A. Los resultados revelaron que los reclusos mos­traban una probabilidad superior de ser clasificados como casos clinicos en las dimensiones clinicas del SCL-90-R, a excepcion de Hostilidad, asi como puntuaciones significativamente mas elevadas en las dimensiones cli­nicas a excepcion de Hostilidad y Ansiedad Fobica, y en los tres indices globales (i.e., GSI, PST, PSDI). Ademas, la muestra de condenados se caracterizaba por acudir a estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas, que son recono­cidas como formas desadaptativas o improductivas. Asi­mismo, del estudio de las caracteristicas delictivas se ve­rifico que la mayoria de los acusados guardaban algun tipo de relacion previa con la victima, y que la muestra homicida se caracterizaba por versatilidad delictiva y tendencia a la reincidencia. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la practica profesional en el contexto penitenciario.  Abstract With the aim of knowing about psychological adjustment (clinical symptomatology and diagnosis) and problem-solving skills (coping) in a homicide prison inmate pop­ulation, a study to contrast sentenced murderers or at­tempted murderers with the normative population was conducted.
