CONSEQUENCES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PERPETRATED BY INTIMATE PARTNERS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Studying psychological violence against women perpetrated by intimate partners is essential, since it is in most cases the first form of violence used and that it happens more frequently in this context. Seeking a preventive view, this article aims to explore what would be the possible consequences of going through psychological violence. It is proposed to think about the consequences of psychological violence from the narrative review, exploring in a non-systematized way what has been presented in the literature as possible consequences of this violence. It is understood that understanding the possible consequences linked to this violence can bring greater awareness to it as a phenomenon that needs attention so that we can make interventions more efficient, aiming to contribute to the construction of public policies and interventions that can contribute to the end of this reality that plagues millions of women in Brazil and around the world.
