Abstract
AUGUSTIN, Luiza Wille and BANDEIRA, Célia Cristina de Albuquerque. Posture and interventions of the gestalt-therapist in the face of psychological violence against woman by an intimate partner. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.spe, pp. 449-459. ISSN 1809-6867. http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/2020v26ne.9.
Psychological intimate partner violence occurs between spouses or boyfriends and often has the woman the victim of this abuse. Since all physical violence was preceded by psychological violence, the importance of this theme is postulated as a form of prevention and alertness to society. The Gestalt-therapist should be prepared to come across these cases and know which positions to take in different contexts. For this, the present study presents a theoretical study on psychological violence by intimate partner based on a research in the main journals of the Gestalt approach in the country. The discussion addresses five terms that have appeared the most in the national works, they are: Environmental Support, Awareness, Phenomenological Reduction, Work with Emotions and Self-esteem. In this discussion, we seek to understand the concepts in light of gestalt theory and its application in the care of women victims of psychological violence by intimate partner.
