PETERSEN, Mariana Gomes Ferreira et al. Cognitive behavioral therapy for women in domestic violence situation: systematic review. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.1, pp. 145-165. ISSN 0103-5665.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0031n01A07.

This article aimed to carry out a systematic review of the literature about cognitive behavioral therapy protocols (CBT) for psychological treatment of women in situations of domestic violence. METHOD: A search was conducted on the databases Scielo, Pepsic, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science with the following descriptors: "clinical trial" or "therapy" or "psychotherapy" or "psychological treatment" AND "violence" or "mistreatment" or "domestic violence" or "conjugal violence" AND "women". A total of 1.329 articles were identified and, after application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 remained. These were analyzed from methodological aspects, intervention elements and results achieved. RESULTS: Nine articles reported randomized clinical trials. The interventions focused on symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression. CONCLUSIONS: The articles stressed the assessment of results. The need was manifest for studies to detail the psychotherapeutic process, mainly in the Brazilian context, to qualify the service networks with evidence-based practices.

Keywords : domestic violence; gender; cognitive-behavioral therapy; evidence-based practice.
