El sistema de creencias establecido por relaciones familiares disfuncionales : influencia en el personal de las fuerzas públicas con conductas adictivas.

Abstract

The topic of this degree thesis was to investigate the relationship between the belief system of the Public Forces Personnel (FFPP) and the development of addictive behaviors. The objective was to analyze the relationship between the belief system established by dysfunctional family relationships with the consumption of psychoactive substances by means of the descriptive method for a possible clinical practice with patients who are officers of the Public Forces in a mental health hospital in the city of Guayaquil. The methodological framework used was of a mixed type and techniques such as interviews with professionals and tests were used to obtain information with both empirical and theoretical foundations which allowed the influence that the belief system established by dysfunctional family relationships has on individuals and the relevance of self-efficacy in a recovery process. The Ellis Beliefs Test showed that FFPP personnel present cognitive distortions mainly around problem avoidance, dependency and perfectionism. The results of the MCMI-III, on the other hand, revealed that the predominant clinical personality patterns are narcissistic and antisocial.
