| Descripción: | This study aimed to understand and analyze the psychological damage resulting from victimization for judicial research purposes, with the intention of proposing an appropriate treatment and reparation for the harm caused. The study examined nine cases of women who were victims of human trafficking for sexual exploitation, and they were staying in a specialized shelter for trafficking victims. For the research, a clinical analysis was conducted using psychological tests and in-depth interviews. The results revealed a high prevalence of psychological injuries, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other clinically significant psychological consequences. Therefore, it was recommended to use trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. Furthermore, the importance of providing comprehensive support measures and appropriate follow-up to the victims was emphasized, along with highlighting the significance of psychological evaluations to carry out reparations. This consideration was made concerning the short, medium, and long-term implications of psychological damage. In this way, the goal is to ensure that the reparation process is not limited to a fixed number of therapy sessions but takes into account all the implications that psychological consequences have on the victims. |
