Abstract

This document presents the main findings of the theoretical review that supported the project psychosocial effects derived from the attention to victims of armed violence executed during the year 2015. The document exposes the need to create interpretive frameworks that show the differences between the psychosocial effects that are produced when working with victims and the psychopathologies proposed by the psychological diagnosis manuals. In addition, a brief tour of the theory of Charles R. Figley is made, who coined the term secondary traumatic stress that, until 2013, differed from post-traumatic stress as a psychosocial risk that can affect professionals who work with the population. traumatized. Hence the relevance for the subject since it shows the human cost of attention to crime.
