Abstract: Assessment of psychological harm in violent crime-victims.. The aim of this paper was to review the current knowledge about the psychological harm in crime-victims, as well as to study it in a clinical sample. The sample consisted of 330 patients affected by psychological traumas (rape, domestic violence and terrorism). Among them, the 54,5% were diagnosed of PTSD, most of all those affected by rape and terrorism. The Severity of Sumptom Scale for PTSD (Echebrurua, Corral, Amor, Zubizarreta and Sarasua, 1997a) was used to determine the severity and the psychopatological profile of PTSD in each group of victims. Finally, implications of this study for clinical and forensic practice and for future research in this field are commented upon.
