MUNOZ VILA, Cecilia  and  TORRES CALDERON, Nubia Esperanza. Abuse and Violence Narrow and Annihilate the Psychic. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.3, pp.1099-1110. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UPSY13-3.mvea.

The authors present the findings of a research on psychoanalytical therapeutic interventions with Battered women, using the "Meditative Review" proposed by Bion, categorizing and analyzing the clinical material. Continuing experiences of abuse and violence produce narrowing and annihilation of psychic, is described, by the authors, as a reduction of psychic depth, inside and outside, produced by the primacy of the id and the objects on ego instance, the absence of the internal world leading to motor action-reactions, without thought (one-dimensionality), with sensory perception predominance (two-dimensionality) and alternating permanent use of Basic Assumptions leading to dehumanized life. The analytical conceptual framework used follows the Freud, Klein, Bion, Meltzer and Green research lines.

Keywords : woman; couple; abuse; mental narrowness; Basic Assumptions; one-dimensionality; tow-dimensionality; ehumanization.
