SERRANO-MORA, Sandra Milena  y  QUINTERO-MEJIA, Marieta. Psychosocial effects of the forced disappearances of young people in Latin America: A pending task. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.349-371.  Epub 18-Mar-2022. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.20.1.4475.

This article reviews the concept of psychosocial trauma based on the phenomena of political violence in Latin America and specifically the forced disappearance of young people in Colombia. Based on this theoretical-contextual analysis, the study identifies that this phenomenon of forced disappearance has generated personal, family and collective affectations - involving attributes of psychosocial trauma - in the Colombian social fabric. As a final reflection, the authors propose the need to rethink the psychosocial effects of the damage to society caused by this violence, represented in the fact that young people have been forcibly disappeared and the implications that this has had for the social fabric.

Palabras clave : Armed conflict; enforced disappearance; youths; psychosocial trauma; social fabric.
