Procesos de vinculación, permanencia y reintegración social de niños y niñas que participaron en grupos armados ilegales en Colombia

This paper aimed to conduct a literature review on the processes of attachment, permanence and reintegration of children who participated in illegal armed groups in Colombia (GAI). Fifty-one papers were reviewed between 2005 and 2018 from specialized databases and catalogs of Colombian universities. The results showed that most of the studies conducted focus on bonding and reintegration processes. Different perspectives on the denomination of this population group are discussed, the causes identified for the linkage, dynamics of interaction and adjustment to the GAI during the permanence, the experiences in the reintegration processes and characteristics of the care programs are mentioned, and some recommendations for the reintegration processes are presented.
