Víctimas invisibles. Análisis de un caso de maltrato desde la perspectiva de la víctima con discapacidad intelectual
Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la vivencia de maltrato por parte de una persona con discapacidad intelectual. Para ello se utiliza como método de recogida de información una entrevista semiestructurada que fue grabada, transcrita y analizada posteriormente de acuerdo a la literatura científica existente. El resultado de este trabajo pone en evidencia el impacto emocional de la vivencia del maltrato en la víctima, identifica falsos mitos en cuanto a la experiencia emocional de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y aporta explicaciones psicológicas a las actuaciones de las diferentes personas implicadas en las agresiones. La pluralidad de situaciones de maltrato a las que se puede ver sometida la víctima y la permanencia del maltrato a través de los años definen una característica que suele ser habitual en el maltrato hacia las personas con discapacidad intelectual. El entendimiento de toda la dinámica que puede subyacer al maltrato en las personas con discapacidad intelectual posibilita una nueva perspectiva en la evaluación e intervención con este tipo de víctimas.
