Traumatic Experiences of the Living Disappeared in Argentina: A Review
No full textBetween 1976 and 1983, in Argentina, among the 30,000 individuals kidnapped and killed by armed forces, several pregnant women delivered their children in captivity, who were illegally adopted by families with close military ties. To date, 130 of these children have been identified (named Living Disappeared, LDs) and reunited with their biological families. The aim of this review was to analyze the peculiarity of their traumatic experiences the specific factors of trauma resolution. We conducted a comprehensive search of the articles that specifically deal with Argentinean LDs. Fifteen records met the inclusion criteria. Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic memories were reported by LDs, both after and before learning the truth; the processing of trauma was found to be facilitated by verbalizing traumatic experiences, listening to others’ narratives, and recognizing the belonging to a political community. The pathogenic relevance of the early exposure to trauma, the climate of lies, secrets, and doubts which characterized the life with the illegally adoptive parents and the conflict between two identities have been found. The findings come out on the side of the influence of the context in trauma resolution
Identity and Justice for Argentinean-Identified Grandchildren: DNA-Testing as a Turning Point
No full textDuring the Argentinean military dictatorship (1976-1983), 130 children of desaparecidos (disappeared) born during their mothers' captivity and then kidnapped by families close to the military were identified thanks to the efforts of human rights organizations and especially of their grandparents. DNA testing was used for verifying their identity. Based on the principle of the right to identity, if the children refused DNA testing, they were forced against their right to privacy. Ten identified grandchildren were interviewed and transcripts were codified in six categories. All interviewees considered the DNA testing the turning point for their social identity. These observations support the Argentinean legislative orientation
Self-presentation, self-image and interpersonal relations in a sample of adolescents
No full textIn this work of research is described a new scale for evaluation of self-presentation, named Mi presento. For the construction of the scale we define the self-presentation construct by means of five intercorrelated dimensions or factors and a desiderability scale. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the scale in a sample of adolescents (N=500). The MPr demonstrated adequate estimates of internal reliability and a concurrent validity with the Italian translation 13-Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (R-SMS), the most used instrument for the evaluation of the self-monitoring and Offer Self-Image Questionnaire. Body Self-image and Extraversion have been reported to be significantly less among women than men. Statistically significant differences were noted between groups (high and low self-monitoring) about the mean scores of some dimensions of Interpersonal Relation Test (TRI)
