Abstract
El presente trabajo trata de poner de manifiesto el riesgo, para jueces y tribunales, de valorar de forma acrí-tica los informes periciales psicológicos referidos a la valoración del daño psíquico en supuestos de abuso sexual infantil (ASI). Desde la revisión bibliográfica realizada se han detectado serias limitaciones para detectar ASI en la utilización de indicadores clínicos que han surgido del contexto sanitario y asistencial. Se cuestiona el m delo teórico subyacente y la rigurosidad de los estudios sobre las consecuencias psicológicas asociadas al ASI. Igualmente, son debatidos algunos métodos de exploración clínica, extrapolados al contexto forense, y desaconsejados debido a su baja fiabilidad y validez. Se concluye señalando lo inadecuado de trasladar modelos y procedimientos del contexto clínico-asistencial al pericial, y la necesidad de exigir requisitos técnicos a los informes forenses.
This paper tries to highlight the risk to judges and courts, to assess uncritically psychological expert reports relating to the assessment of psychological injury in cases of child sexual abuse (CSA). From the literature review have been identified serious limitations in the use of clinical indicators to detect CSA, that have emerged in the context of health care. The underlying theoretical model, and thoroughness of the studies on the psychological consequences associated with CSA are questioned. Also, some methods of clinical examination, extrapolated to forensic context, and advised against because of their poor reliability and validity, are discussed. It concludes by pointing out the inadequacy of moving models and procedures of the expert clinical-care context to forensic, and the need of demanding technical requirements to forensic reports. © 2014.
