Analyze intimate partner violence from the systemic-communicational approach.

Methodology.

A qualitative approach with a hermeneutic method was used and a series of books and articles were established as a phenomenon of analysis of intimate partner violence and as a unit of work.

Results.

The search was carried out in databases (Ebscohost and Google Scholar), 43 documents were selected and analyzed, of which the Spanish language predominated, the research articles, in equal number of systemic and gender perspective, between the decade of 2010 and 2020.

Conclusion.

The understanding of violence from the systemic-communicational and gender approach, from a hermeneutic rather than causal approach, allows us to continue analyzing, interpreting and envisioning the complexity of this phenomenon, as well as the points of encounter and divergence between the approaches that feed the theoretical construction and provide research guidelines.
