Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: It was investigated, based on a relational approach, how couples on a violent relationship\ndescribe their relationship and how their practice and conceptions of gender are connected\non the configuration of violence episodes. We examined eight interviews of four couples\nwhose relationships were characterized by violence episodes. The analysis resulted in the\nidentification of three categories: 1) �Conceptions of gender�, which brings together the\ndescriptions of practices and conceptions of gender, 2) �Conflict � disagreements between\npartners� and 3) �Description and evaluation of fights with physical aggression�. We\nidentified that some traditional gender patterns were broken by wives while husbands\nreaffirm traditional patterns. It was evaluated that relational approach is a way to identify\nshared points of agreement and contradictions and disagreement present in the discourse of\ncouples, allowing the comprehension of a complex dynamic that remains inaccessible by a\nunilateral focus of the relationship.
