The following study has the purpose of identifying the differences among psychological characteristics, as well as the self-image of young and middle-age adults women who suffer physical violence practiced by their partners. To achieve this result, it was utilized a semi-structured interview and the test of the human figure by Campos (2000), to improve the understanding about self-image issues. Data analysis was followed by lifting the instrument and the content analysis proposed by Erickson (1986). It can be observed that the experience of physical violence by these women is differently noticed in each group, leaving several marks that point the body as a signalman, bringing great moral suffering, which significantly undermines the woman’s psychosocial life.
Key words: physical violence, woman, self-image.Downloads
