ODDERA, Mariela González. The battered woman in Argentina. Drifts between State, society and psychology (1983-1995). Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.spe, pp. 1372-1392. ISSN 1808-4281.

In this article, we reconstruct the way in which the battered woman category emerged in Argentine psychology, in a peculiar circulation between civil society and the State. From the approach of the critical history of psychology to the contributions of recent history, we analyze the reception in the local scene, in the interconnection of the human rights agenda with the feminist ideology. We analyzed how gender violence was included in the governmental agenda, in feminist activism and in the theoretical production of psychology. We include solidarity and the differences between these areas, taking into account the representations and values involved in the uses of the different categories.

Palabras clave : gender violence; history of psychology; categories.
