Violence against women manifests itself daily in the conjugal dynamics between the involved subjects, a panorama that is present in the Specialized Services to Women who have suffered some type of abuse (physical and / or psychological). This research sought to identify the relevance of the psychological reception in these services, as well as to analyze the characteristics of the women received. The study was based on the qualitative approach and exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional design. Participated in 14 women referred to the service, after the registration of the Occurrence Bulletin in a police station in the South of Brazil. The data collection was performed by the semi structured interview technique whose data were analyzed through the categorical thematic content. The results show that, through psychological reception, women mention greater relief, emotional support and positive reflections about their self-image. It is considered that the data obtained corroborate and qualify interventions in this area.
