Abstract

RAMOS, Maria Eveline Cascardo. Men and women involved in violence and attended/treated in socio-therapeutic groups: union, communication and relationships. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.1, pp. 39-53. ISSN 2318-0498.

This work was developed with men and women involved in domestic violence in Brasilia. After being individually interviewed, these people are referred by the Department of Justice or judges to groups, where women and men can be treated separately or together. The groups can be attended by both women and men, whether they are married or single, together or without their partners. All of them consider themselves victims of the other gender, and consider violence to be a mechanism of defense and educational strategy for their children. During the socio-therapeutic work using a sociodramatic model, it transpired that the information given by these couples about their short-term relationship and their unrevealed individual fantasies inform the communication patterns of such couples that are characterized by mutual frustration.

Keywords : Violence; Violence against woman; Communication; Psychodrama.
