Influencia de la dependencia emocional en el bienestar psicológico en adultos jóvenes: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the influence of emotional dependency on the psychological well-being of young adults through a systematic review of scientific literature and the analysis of a clinical case. The study is based on attachment theory, which allows us to understand how insecure attachment styles influence the establishment of dependent emotional relationships during adulthood. For the systematic review, scientific databases were used, selecting studies published in the last five years related to emotional dependency, psychological well-being, and young adults. The results show that emotional dependency is associated with symptoms of anxiety, emotional insecurity, low self-esteem, and difficulties in emotional regulation, affecting dimensions of psychological well-being such as autonomy, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth. Likewise, the clinical case identified manifestations consistent with separation anxiety and emotional dependency in a university student, demonstrating an impact on her academic, family, and emotional life. Finally, the importance of strengthening psychological intervention strategies aimed at developing emotional autonomy and psychological well-being is highlighted.
