RESUMEN

Introducción:

El delito de homicidio es uno de los más graves y perjudiciales a la sociedad; es la forma más extrema de expresión y resolución de los conflictos sociales entre las personas y los colectivos. En la historia del ser humano, la existencia de trastornos mentales en los protagonistas de la violencia social, en especial del homicidio, ha sido una realidad constante, en algunos casos magnificada, aunque determinadas entidades, como el Trastorno de la Personalidad Antisocial, han demostrado tener una significación estadística en aquellos homicidios que se apegan más a patrones de violencia instrumental o predatoria.

Objetivo:

Caracterizar psicopatológicamente a los autores de homicidios acaecidos en La Habana que fueron peritados en el período 2011- 2013.

Métodos:

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal y retrospectivo de todos los expedientes de los acusados autores del delito de homicidio peritados por el Departamento de Peritación Mental del Instituto de Medicina Legal durante el período 2011- 2013.

Conclusiones:

Existen características psicopatológicas de los homicidas que los clasifican como personalidades patológicas de tipo antisocial y orgánica, al igual que consumidores perjudiciales de alcohol, lo cual justifica el patrón de violencia instrumental, las incitaciones interpersonales unido a un patrón de violencia reactiva, y a comportamientos no planificados, que salen de su control, por las dificultades que presentan para contener sus impulsos. En pocos casos son portadores de verdaderas enfermedades psiquiátricas(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The crime of homicide is one of the most serious and harmful to any society. It is the most extreme form of expression and resolution of social conflicts between people and groups. In the history of the human beings, the existence of mental disorders in the protagonists of social violence, especially murdering, has been a constant reality, in some cases magnified, although certain entities, such as the antisocial personality disorder, have been shown to have a statistical significance in those homicides that are more attached to patterns of instrumental or predatory violence.

Objective:

To characterize psycho-pathologically the authors of homicides that occurred in Havana and were reported in the period 2011-2013.

Methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted with all the files of the perpetrators prosecuted for the crime of homicide reported by the Department of Mental Perception of the Institute of Legal Medicine during the period 2011-2013.

Conclusions:

There are psycho-pathological characteristics of homicides that classify them as with pathological personalities of antisocial and organic type, as well as harmful consumers of alcohol, which justifies the pattern of instrumental violence, interpersonal incitements together with a pattern of reactive violence, and behaviors unplanned, out of control, by the difficulties they present to restrain their impulses. In a few cases, they are carriers of true psychiatric illnesses(AU)
