This study explores the impact of repressive violence during the last Argentinean military dictatorship's on a sample of relatives of people detained-disappeared for political reasons (n = 30) and people who survived imprisionment and torture (n=22). Facing of the experience from a political point of view, remaining socially active and positive social support are string elements in providing sense to the experience and generating a positive identity as a survivor. Viceversa, hidding and avoidance are related to post-traumatic symptoms, difficulties in the mourning process and a greater negative impact on basic beliefs.

Palavras-chave : colective violence; survivors; psychosocial consequences; coping; post-traumatic growth.
