STENZEL, Gabriela Quadros de Lima. Characteristics of personality of marital aggressors: a qualitative study. Pensando fam. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp. 137-152. ISSN 1679-494X.

Aggression committed by conjugal partners is the most common type of violence in women's lives. However, research on the understanding of the psychological functioning and behavior of the marital aggressor is scarce. The present study aimed to know the personality traits of marital aggressors through the Rorschach Method. The three participants, over 18 years of age, detained at the Porto Alegre Central Prison in accordance with the Maria da Penha Law, responded to the following instruments: Personal and Sociodemographic Data Sheet, MINI Interview and Rorschach Method. Only one participant presented psychopathological symptoms and it was verified that the capacity of control and tolerance to stress is shown as an important variable to be considered when thinking about prevention and intervention measures with marital aggressors.

Keywords : Conjugal aggressors; Personality; Rorschach method.
