CAMACHO QUIROS, José David. Neither alive nor death: missing people in Latin America. Psychosocial impacts in their families. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2024, vol.14, n.1, pp.107-122. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v14i1.5181.

In order to study the psychosocial impacts generated by the disappearance of individuals on family dynamics in Latin America, an exploratory and qualitative approach was undertaken through a review and analysis of literature and documents on the subject. To begin with, historical elements from the 1930's were revisited, primarily focusing on countries such as Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, where a greater academic production on the topic was identified, owing to their unique political and historical processes. This approach allowed for the recovery of the historicity of the phenomenon and the identification of new actors and determinations that circumscribe human disappearance in the region today. Finally, a discussion was presented on the psychosocial impacts generated by the studied events on the dynamics of households experiencing these situations, considering psychic, economic and relational spheres.
