Implicaciones negativas en relaciones de pareja con dependencia emocional.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze the dynamics associated with the negative implications that are generated in relationships with emotional dependence, and how these affect the main areas of functioning of those involved, through a documentary review of articles scientific and degree works. The approach selected for the current research project is qualitative, with a cross-sectional descriptive design. The information collected was organized by means of a summary type worksheet. From this information, the analysis is carried out, which was developed from a matrix of category per unit of analysis. The most significant results are manifested in the conclusions, within which it stands out that the most significant affectations appear in the personal (low self-esteem) and family and social areas (absence of support networks). The negative implications at the cognitive level are manifested in cognitive distortions, irrational ideas and at the emotional level, in emotional instability and ambivalence. Finally, the most considerable affectation in the couple's dynamics is presented in abuse or psychological violence, an increase in maladaptive behaviors such as colopathy and a decrease in autonomy.
