This text brings part of the results of a research carried out in the Justice context, more specifically in the context of a psychosocial study of a case involving a family with children who have been sexually abused by the father. The research aimed at apprehending what are the possible meanings families give to their life experiences, to Justice, as well as apprehending what is the role performed by Justice in these families’ histories. To reach this objective, focus was given on the family narrative, composed by the participants’ speech and behavior. The discussion presented in this article was based in the results obtained through the projective technique of collage. The analysis of the information was realized through the depth hermeneutics proposal and the results showed the symbolic and objective role performed by Justice in the history of the participating family.

Keywords : Justice; Family; Sexual violence; Meanings; Psychosocial study.
