Título: Límites entre la violencia psicológica y la relación de pareja meramente disfuncional: implicaciones psicológicas y forenses. Resumen: El objetivo principal de este artículo es establecer las diferencias entre la violencia psicológica en la pareja como estrategia habitual de relación y las relaciones de pareja meramente disfuncionales, en las que sus miembros no saben cómo afrontar los problemas cotidianos o cómo negociar el proceso de ruptura y abordar adecuadamente los problemas emocionales surgidos. En este artículo se describen las pautas de conducta características de una relación violenta y se analizan las consecuencias psicológicas sufridas por la víctima. Estos dos aspectos son fundamentales para distinguir una relación de pareja con violencia psicológica de una pareja meramente disfuncional sin conductas violentas sistemáticas. Esta diferenciación es fundamental para abordar el problema de una forma adecuada. Algunas parejas pueden malinterpretar una relación disfuncional como una relación de pareja violenta. Las implicaciones para la práctica forense son muy distintas en ambos casos. Se sugieren algunas vías de actuación derivadas de la buena práctica en este ámbito. Palabras clave: violencia psicológica de pareja, relación abusiva, relación disfuncional, psicología forense. Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to point out the differences between psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) as usual strategy and relational process and a dysfunctional relationship in which partners do not know how to deal with everyday problems or how to negotiate the breakup process and manage the negative emotional states. In this paper behavior patterns of the psychologically violent intimate relationship are outlined and psychological consequences for victims are described. Both of them are useful for distinguishing a psychological IPV from a dysfunctional relationship without systematic violent behaviors. This differentiation is very relevant in order to deal with the problem in an adequate way. Some couples can misinterpret a dysfunctional relationship as intimate partner violence. Implications for forensic practice are very different in each case. Suggestions for good practice in this field are commented on.
