JARAMILLO-MORENO, Ricardo A.  and  CUEVAS RAMIREZ, Carlos Alberto. Scientific Overview of the Relation between Domestic and Gender Violence and Family Resilience: Possibilities, Challenges and Limits. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp.113-130.  Epub Jan 01, 2020. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.5544.

In the frame of the first phase of the research titled “Resilience in Victims of Domestic and Gender Based Violence”, carried out by the Psychology academic program at the Santo Tomas University (Bogota, Colombia), a literature review was carried out which described the State of the Art of studies published between 2015 and 2019 regarding Family Resilience against Domestic and Gender-based Violence. There were preliminary results gathered from 3160 documents, which were later reduced to 74 articles according to the following criteria: original articles, rational thinking, literature review, and qualitative data, quantitative data, or mixed methods research published between 2015 and 2019. The research was carried out using the following Databases: PubMed, Ebsco Host, Science Direct, Scopus, PsyINFO, sage, Sprinter, and Taylor & Francis. A particular trend has been identified as a result of the research, with a large set of studies using mostly applied, qualitative and descriptive data of female, child and teenager participants who have reported cases of domestic violence, conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. However, it was observed that the literature makes indirect reference to family resilience, since for the most part it refers to coping mechanisms, recovery, and protective factors as phenomena of interest related to Domestic and Gender-based Violence. It is concluded that there are still very few studies which, while describing the emergence of family resilience and intervention alternatives for its development, explicitly include a gender approach or gender-related elements in cases of domestic violence.
