La dinámica familiar y su relación con el cometimiento del acto de agresión sexual en agresores sexuales.

Abstract

The present study focuses on family dynamics and its relationship with the commission of sexual aggression by sexual offenders, from the perspective of the Cognitive-Behavioral approach. Through a bibliographic review of representative cases such as those of Gilberto Chamba, Pedro Alonso López, and Daniel Camargo, the family and psychosocial factors that may influence aggressive behavior are examined, as well as how these interact with the cognitive and behavioral schemas that define them. In the Cognitive-Behavioral approach, behaviors are understood as the result of thought patterns, emotions, and learned behaviors over time, and dysfunctional family environments can be a key factor in shaping these patterns. These formative experiences influence the construction of distorted beliefs about sexuality, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships, which are often reinforced by the absence of an adequate model for conflict resolution and emotional management at home. In this sense, offenders develop erroneous cognitive schemas that may lead them to justify their actions and become desensitized to the harm they cause.
