Domestic violence occurs between people with affective links, whether familiar or other, involving also those who share their home. The World Health Organization states that the DV against women may be detected, prevented or reduced. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric review of the literature about interventions used in cases of DV against women. Studies published between 2004 and 2014 in six different databases (Web of Science, PsycInfo, SciELO, Pepsic. Redalyc and Lilacs) with the describers in Spanish, English and Portuguese were searched. In result, 163 studies were found, of which 14 were chosen according to their theme. It was concluded that, besides of the actions aimed for the victims, there is a challenge in the formation of the professionals and the screening of the cases. The health services have been the focus of the studies aiming for the training of the professionals and victim's identification.
