Psychological violence is a form of violence against women that can be defined as causing emotional harm to a woman that harms her and disrupts herfull development or that aims to degrade or control her actions, behaviors, beliefsand decisions, through threat, embarrassment , humiliation, manipulation,isolation, blackmail, ridicule, limitation of the right to come and go or any other means that causes harm to their psychological health and self-determination(Federal Law number 14,188, 2021 Art. 147- B). This work is a collection of scientific articles whose main objective is to understand the preventive factors (risk and protection) that involve violence against women; understand, describe psychological violence against women (the phenomenon and its concept), its presence or absence in the literature, and its possible consequences. Furthermore, we sought to articulate and leave a path prepared for the possibility of acting beyond the denunciation of the dominant system and some ideas of what to do in the face of this and to think about what elements can be put in place so that public policies can be developed with a view to minimizing the problem of VPCM.Through the methodology of theoretical review, systematic literature review and narrative review, 3 articles were prepared. The research results point to the need for greater emphasis on psychological violence and the factors involved in it, as well as the need for greater investment and reassessment of its role in the phenomenon of violence against women.
