Las psicopatologías que se relacionan con la violencia intrafamiliar: investigaciones desarrolladas en Colombia.

This article aims to make a "state of the art" of all the investigations conducted or centered in Colombia as a case of study regarding the mental and psychological disorders in relation to domestic violence. To meet the goal set, medical journals, databases, libraries around the country, documents produced by government agencies and websites were consulted. From the research conducted it was found that several studies are limited to make a compilation of the theoretical international development on the subject. Meanwhile, the empirical efforts to analyze Colombia's problems have been few; therefore meaningless conclusions can be drawn from the national population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
