Este trabajo analiza el efecto de los pensamientos negativos en el ajuste psicológico de progenitores divorciados españoles, 131 custodios y 92 no custodios. Los progenitores no custodios presentan una media más elevada de pensamientos negativos post-divorcio que los custodios. Niveles altos de pensamientos negativos corresponden a progenitores con un menor bienestar psicológico, tanto en custodios como no custodios, y con peor ajuste al divorcio y menos perdón sólo en custodios. Las dificultades psicológicas y emocionales predicen los pensamientos negativos post-divorcio, aunque se aprecian perfiles diferentes para progenitores custodios y no custodios. Discutimos las implicaciones de estos resultados para la intervención con progenitores divorciados.
