- Abstract
The article presents the results of a study aimed at describing psychological well-being in a sample of resocialized street residents of the city of Medellin, Colombia. The study of a qualitative approach used a semi-structured interview designed according to the theoretical concept of Psychological Wellbeing, proposed by Casullo (2002), composed of five dimensions: acceptance of self, autonomy, control of situations, psychosocial links and projects. As a methodological strategy, the case study was used, which allowed an approximation to the dimensions of psychological well-being in four participants older than Medellin. Among the results it is highlighted that in each dimension the participants present elements of change with respect to their previous condition as street dwellers; However, there are still aspects related to the ability to make decisions and self-regulation that merit professional accompaniment, linking the family and support network, and maintaining as a transversal axis the help of others, a fundamental sense of life that coincided for all interviewed.
