Especialidades y acreditaciones en psicología / No disponible

Este trabajo parte de la base de que la Psicología Profesional ha alcanzado en el estado español la madurez suficiente para tener una estructura permanente de especialidades y subespecialidades (bajo la denominación de Expertos). Se analiza el estado de la cuestión en España y en las organizaciones profesionales de psicólogos de otras partes del mundo, con especial hincapié en las cultural y sociológicamente próximas y de nuestro entorno. Se diferencia entre los títulos de especialidades oficiales y los avalados por organizaciones profesionales, en nuestro caso Colegios de Psicólogos y la conexión entre ellas. Se realiza, para su discusión por la comunidad de Psicólogos, una propuesta que incluye un número limitado de especialidades, ilimitado de títulos de expertos y los procedimientos de acreditación con las condiciones mínimas para su obtención (AU)

This paper assumes that the Professional Psychology has achieved in Spain mature enough to have a permanent structure of specialties and subspecialties (under the name of Experts). We analyze the state of this topic in Spain and professional organizations of psychologists from around the world, with special emphasis on cultural and sociological future and our environment. It differs from the official specialty titles and endorsed by professional organizations, in our case Associations of Psychologists and the connection between them. We generate for discussion by the community of psychologists, a proposal that includes a limited number of specialties, unlimited expert qualifications and accreditation procedures with the minimum conditions for obtaining it (AU)

Descripción del Síndrome de Alienación Parental en una muestra forense / Description of the Parental Alienation Syndrome in a forensic sample

El objetivo de este estudio fue valorar la presencia de los criterios que definen el Síndrome de Alineación Parental (SAP) en una muestra de familias en proceso de separación. Para ello se analizaron 39 expedientes obtenidos de los asuntos de familia evaluados por un servicio de psicología forense. Utilizando la descripción del SAP se elaboró un listado de criterios que sirviese para constatar su presencia, valorando a los tres actores de la dinámica del SAP: ambos progenitores e hijo. La presencia de estos criterios se analizó comparando los grupos con y sin interrupción en las visitas. Los resultados mostraron una fuerte correlación entre los criterios que definían el SAP. La presencia de estos criterios fue muy superior en el grupo con visitas interrumpidas en comparación con el grupo sin interrupción de visitas. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta los defectos que se computaban en los progenitores visitadores, no se encontraron diferencias entre ambos grupos. Estos resultados parecen confirmar la presencia de los criterios del SAP en familias que se encuentran en un proceso de ruptura con interrupciones o conflictos en las visitas (AU)

The aim of this paper was to assess the presence of the criteria for Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) in a sample of families in the process of divorce. Thirty nine records obtained from family cases evaluated by a forensic psychology service were analyzed. A checklist of criteria was made using the description of PAS, these criteria served to confirm their presence by assessing the three actors in the dynamics of the PAS: both parents and the child. The presence of these criteria was analyzed comparing the groups with and without interruption in the contacts. The results showed a strong correlation between the criteria defining the PAS. The presence of these criteria was much higher in the group with interrupted contacts versus the group with uninterrupted ones. However, taking into account the disorders that were computed in visiting parents, there were no differences between both groups. These results seem to confirm the presence of the criteria of PAS in families that are in a process of marriage breakdown with disruptions or conflicts in the visitation rights (AU)

[Assessment of personality disorders with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-II) in a forensic sample]. / Evaluación de trastornos de personalidad mediante el Inventario Clínico Multiaxial (MCMI-II) en una muestra forense.

In this paper, the presence of personality disorders in a forensic sample is analysed using the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-II). The sample was made up of 86 individuals from both civil and criminal settings: plaintiffs in family cases and complainants and defendants in various crimes, especially in partner abuse. The results reveal a great number of records of Compulsive Personality Disorder, reaching 70%, regardless of whether they were from the civil or the criminal setting or whether they were a plaintiff or a defendant. It is concluded that this inventory seems to lack statistical validity for this purpose. Moreover, this test may only describe the typical characteristics of forensic evaluation rather than the personality of the individuals assessed, and it is oversensitive to context; hence, the conclusions derived from the use of the MCMI-II in the forensic field may accept as valid a great deal of distorted or unspecific profiles.

Evaluación de trastornos de personalidad mediante el Inventario Clínico Multiaxial (MCMI-II) en una muestra forense / Assessment of personality disorders with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-II) in a forensic sample

En este estudio se analiza mediante el Inventario MCMI-II de Millon la presencia de trastornos de personalidad en una población forense. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 86 sujetos del ámbito civil y penal: demandantes en asuntos de familia y denunciantes y denunciados en diferentes delitos, principalmente violencia de género. Los resultados muestran un elevado número de protocolos indicadores del Trastorno de Personalidad Compulsivo, que llega al 70% de los sujetos, independientemente de que sean del área civil o penal, o de su condición de denunciante o denunciado. Se concluye que este inventario parece carecer de validez estadística para este uso, que la prueba podría describir únicamente las características propias de la evaluación forense, más que la personalidad de los sujetos evaluados, y que, por tanto, es excesivamente sensible al contexto; siendo posible que las conclusiones derivadas de los resultados del MCMI-II en el ámbito forense estén considerando válidos a perfiles distorsionados o inespecíficos (AU)
