    Changes in the Family System and in Its Beliefs About Control, Trust, and Vulnerability Related to Economic Extortive Kidnapping
    (Taylor & Francis, 2007) Carmen Elvira Navia; Marcela Ossa
    Abstract This article reports some results of a study on the effects of economic extortive kidnapping (EEK) on the family system, and on family beliefs about control over one's life, trust in others, and vulnerability to kidnapping. Eighteen families having one of their relatives in captivity and 54 who had their relative released were interviewed. During captivity, family communication and affective involvement improved. However, the negotiation made family relationships more prone to conflict. After release, family relationships became more empathetic; family communication and affective involvement improved, but the loss of trust in their surroundings and the fear of becoming victims again, led families to feel safe only in their own home and to perceive social context as threatening.
