Impacto del acoso escolar en la autoestima de los adolescentes: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project addresses the impact of bullying on adolescents' self esteem, an issue identified in pre-professional practices in the field of clinical psychology. Based on this assessment, a research question was posed, and a systematic review of scientific literature was conducted to analyze existing evidence on the impact of bullying on victims' self-esteem. The studies reviewed indicated that victimization, particularly traditional victimization, is negatively related to self-esteem; that is, the more an adolescent suffers from bullying, the lower their self-esteem tends to be, thus increasing their vulnerability to emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviors. Based on this, a simulated clinical case was formulated of an adolescent victim of bullying, with symptoms of social anxiety related to bullying events. The case addressed aspects such as identification, reason for consultation, psychological evaluation, and a proposal for cognitive-behavioral therapy treatment, based on the findings of the review. This work combined theory, scientific evidence, and professional practice, contributing to a well-founded and sensitive clinical view of the impact of bullying on adolescent mental health.
