The main objective of this research is to assess the effectiveness of the legal regulation of psychological violence. We compare the right to personal integrity in the Ecuadorian legal system. For this, we use the historical-logical, exegetical-analytical, and comparative legal scientific research methods and the document analysis research technique. The work carries out the doctrinal legal and jurisprudential treatment to evidence the interrelation between psychological violence and the right to personal integrity. We study the concept of psychological violence to determine its scope and forms of expression. Besides, we analyze the right to personal integrity as a human right with international and constitutional protection. And, the interrelation that exists between both legal figures, and their materialization in the Ecuadorian legal context, ase don its classification within the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code. Finally, as a result, the need to achieve comprehensive protection of the most vulnerable sectors of society that suffer psychological violence will be based, as well as the defense of the right to integrity, not only from a family perspective but also from a social perspective.

Palabras clave : Psychological violence; personal integrity; victims; crime; family.
