A View of the Psychosocial Reparation and Intervention Processes in Colombia. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.3, pp.264-276. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-3.adac.
This article, product of research “Construction of meanings on institutional reparation and reparation from below into victims of armed conflict”, it is a process developed from San Buenaventura University, Medellin. The qualitative method was used, with phenomenological-hermeneutical approach and a non-probabilistic, typological and purposive sampling. In the municipality of San Carlos, 12 groups of discussion were made (SC-GF), 7 individual interviews (SC-EI) and 5 group interviews (SC-EG) were performed. In Medellin we develop 8 groups discussion (AM-GF) and 12 individual interviews (AM-EI). Finally we conducted 32 in-depth interviews (P-E) to professionals who showed heavy wear in their work. In all these scenarios, it emerged the category “Action with harm”, demonstrating inconsistencies, problems in psychosocial reparation projects and effects that deepen the harm.
Keywords : Action with harm; institutional reparation; psychosocial intervention; revictimization; victim identity.
