En el trabajo se presentan los resultados de la evaluación de un grupo de mujeres con ruptura matrimonial en dos aspectos que la literatura sobre el tema considera relevantes: vinculación al ex marido y situación emocional. La primera se ba medido mediante el ASD (Kitson, 1982) y la segunda con el CAQ (Krug, 1980). Se ba considerado también la influencia de las variables psicosociales sobre la situación de la mujer divorciada, tales como actividad económica, duración del matrimonio, hijos, nueva pareja… En el caso del CAQ se ha utilizado un grupo control de mujeres casadas. Los resultados muestran que el impacto emocional del divorcio existe puesto que las mujeres con ruptura matrimonial alcanzan puntuaciones más altas que las casadas en las escalas de depresión, paranoidismo y esquizofrenia. En vinculación al ex marido las puntuaciones muestran un adecuado nivel de independencia. Las mujeres que conservan mayor vinculación presentan una situación emocional peor.
