This descriptive study aims to find out about the social, demographic, migratory and psychopathological characteristics of a sample of 23 immigrants who received psychological treatment in a programme of psychological support for immigrants. The programme attempts to palliate the Ulysses syndrome, that is to say, the anxiety, depressive, somatic and confused state manifestations derived from migratory stress. The findings demonstrate the existence of a large number of women, mainly of Latin American origin, who are in an illegal situation and who suffer from high levels of psychopathology and psychological distress. These illegal immigrants show high levels of fright and fear and experience difficulties in getting by. Furthermore, they experience feelings of failure and vulnerability. |
