La influencia de los factores socioeconómicos en la manifestación de la negligencia infantil en la niñez y la adolescencia

Abstract

Abstract: This curriculum integration study addresses the problem of child neglect, identified during practical experience in an educational setting with children exposed to dysfunctional family contexts and situations of social vulnerability. These observations led to a need to delve deeper into the factors that influence the onset of this type of abuse, particularly in relation to socioeconomic conditions. Consequently, a systematic review of current scientific literature was conducted to analyze the socioeconomic factors related to child neglect in children and adolescents. Based on this theoretical and empirical basis, a simulated clinical case was developed of a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with combined ADHD and exposed to a neglectful family environment. The identified instruments were integrated into this case, allowing for a detailed clinical analysis and the proposal of a well-founded intervention. Overall, this study integrated theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, promoting an ethical, rigorous, and contextualized approach to child psychological assessment.
