Análisis de la violencia de pareja a la luz del psicoanálisis: estudio documental

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to approach the social issue of gender based violence, particularly, addressing the intimate partner violence type. The methodology used was documentary review with a hermeneutic approach, seeking to pinpoint the body of ideas about the contribution of the theory of psychoanalysis on the understanding of violence against women, specifically from the Lacanian perspective. The analysis, was done by defining the meaning of the concept violence And analyzing it in relation to the violence against women from the point of view of the aggressor, the act of violence and couple elationships with which were established the search categories: 1. psychoanalysis contributions about the understanding of violence against women’s issue from the aggressor’s perspective 2. psychoanalysis contributions about the understanding of the violent act in the relationship. Which represent the 50 texts that, constituted the bibliography. The outcome was as follows: the review of the notion of violence gives it a place outside the word, likewise, in some cases the act of the aggressor against women would be located as an act without a word, outside the symbolic. Along with the concept of "outside the symbolic" was found the feminine jouissance, which, is feared for that same characteristic, a fear that can reach the limits of violence, another factor of great importance is the relevance given to the unconscious, in the choice of both the choosing of the loving partner, and its influence on the aggressive act, the hypothesis was compiled that, in the absence of the father's role as transmitter of the masculine signifier , the passage to the violent act with the partner, would be the way to respond to what was not symbolized, being the masculine sexist cultural precepts that still predominate, a way of imaginatively filling the absence.
