LLOPIS GIMENEZ, C.; HERNANDEZ MANCHA, I.  and  RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, M.I.. Cases reports assessed by professionals of the UVIVG in Seville from 2013 to 2014. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.1-2, pp.12-25. ISSN 1988-611X.

This study has been developed by UVIVG Seville, over the years 2013 and 2014. It includes those cases where the professionals of UVIVG have explored the existence of violence situations inside the couple. These professionals have elaborated 562 reports. The reports content the results of the expert investigations asked by the judges. The professionals have dealt different variables in the reports, as age, gender, socio-labour situation, race, etc., which influence over the behavior of the plaintiff and the defendant, and their given answers. The main results of this study have been the highest percentage of cases valuated as couple conflict, comparing with the cases considered as gender violence and maltreatment. Moreover, the study shows that the gender violence occurs more often in Spanish people than in foreigners, and during the process separation than in the stable couple situations. The most frequent emotional pathologies observed in women, who have been affected by the analyzed situations, are the anxiety and depressive symptoms. The existence of psychological aftermath, that impede their normal daily life, were analyzed in few cases. The gender violence or any other possible type of violence took place in every group, without differences between social, economic and social conditions, among others. However, certain mental derangements and narcotic consumption are closely related to conflictual behaviour.
